Avocado Toast

Avocado Toast with GF Almond Flour Bread

Raise your hand if you’re an avocado fan.🙋‍♀️

Raise your hand if you’re a toast fan. 🙋‍♂️

Avocado and toast go together as well as chocolate, peanut butter and bananas, maybe better!??

My Gluten Free Almond Flour Egg Bread is a perfect backdrop for anything avocado-related. It’s dense and hearty; great for a knife and fork avocado toast entrée.

You don’t really need a recipe, just grab ingredients from your fridge and and pantry.

Here’s the components of today’s toast:

Simple Avocado Toast

⚫Gluten Free Almond Bread, toasted
⚫Mashed avocado with lime, pink salt and cracked black pepper
⚫Thinly sliced garden-fresh cucumbers
⚫Fermented Sauerkraut
⚫Pickled jalapenos from my dad 💜
⚫Radish and broccoli sprouts
⚫good drizzle of olive oil

Toast the bread.

Smear liberally with the mashed avocado. Top with all remaining ingredients.

Avocado Toast Platter

This Avocado Toast Platter is a giant vessel of deliciousness! It’s not the first time I’ve created an avocado toast platter and I trust it won’t be the last, either.

I went crazy with accoutrements. toppers and food bling! It was the perfect way to use up a number of little odds and ends hanging out in my fridge after the long holiday weekend. It also doubles as a super healthy tray of fat -fueled goodness. Completely free of guilt! A guilt-free platter is a rare thing indeed, especially this time of year.

Go big: I find I always want a larger platter than I think I need. You can always fill the space with leafy greens, herbs or even with whole veggies or fruit (think mini pears, blueberries, blackberries or lemon and lime wedges!)

Just have fun with your Avocado Toast Platter. Everything goes with avocado so the sky is the limit! Arrange a platter, snap a photo and be sure to share it on IG, remember to tag @happyeatshealthy.
Happy eating,
Monique

For the toast: Choose your favorite toast options (crackers work great too!). Here is what I used:

  • GF Carrot Flatbread (recipe coming soon!)
  • Pumpkin Spelt Four Biscuit (recipe coming soon!)
  • Sweet potato toast rounds

Arrange:

Roast or quickly pan sear anything that needs to be cooked first (ie roast the red pepper, mince the beet and sear in ghee, etc.)

Finely chop the shallot, mash with the two avocados and squeeze half of the lime in. Place in pretty bowl, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, then squeeze on the second lime half over the top.

Choose a large platter, place the bowl of mashed avocado in the middle then scatter arugula around the platter. Place some of the ingredients in tiny bowls or plates- especially anything that you don’t want touching other ingredients (like the smoked salmon). I used use Chinese spoons for the smallest items like the seeds and raisins.

Add the toast points to the corners. Continue to add all your ingredients to the platter. Scatter in additional arugula if you need to fill empty space, or try splitting some of the ingredients into two separate piles.

Set out small forks, spoons for serving along with plates and napkins, Then dig in to this glorious platter!!

Squash Avocado Toast

Squash, Apple and Avocado Toast

Avocado Toast is the biggest thing since…well, sliced bread. I really do love it, unfortunately I’ve actually had a number of lame versions at restaurants so I prefer to make my own. My Squash, Apple and Avocado Toast version pays special homage to fall produce. It came together thanks to some leftover roasted squash, though you could just sear a couple of fresh slices too.

The apple adds texture and tartness with the toasted squash seeds adding a good crunch factor.

Happy Eats,
