Simply Glorious Avocado Toast
Simply Glorious Avocado Toast
I have a random obsession with gospel music, even though I’m pretty sure I’d burst into flames walking into any place of worship. But when I think of the basic bitch lifestyle, I hear large-framed, sequin-clad angels joining together in glorious sidestep to sing avocado toast’s praises to the Lord Jesus. Can I get an amen on whole-grain toast topped with red pepper flakes and pickled red onions? AMEN! This recipe will turn you into a believer. And if not, it will at least keep you satiated on a Sunday morning when you have very few ingredients in your pantry, are recounting the previous night’s sins, and need something to feel light as an angel (and that isn’t a communion wafer).

LITERALLY CAN’T EVEN
There are a world of possibilities on how to make your avocado toast, so don’t limit yourself! If you prefer a more guacamole vibe, mash your avocado in a separate bowl with the addition of some lemon juice and salt before spreading it onto your toast. If mashed avocado isn’t your thing, feel free to thinly slice and fan out the avocado. It not only looks pretty but tastes great!
