The great Maddie G turned me on to this incredibly delicious snack/meal and I can't stop eating it. Once a week I troll the aisles at Kroger for perfectly ripe avocados so I can make this and eat it immediately. If they only have unripe avocados, I get really cranky. Try it, I promise you'll love it. I make 2 slices and it's dinner.
Avocado Toast
need:
2 pieces bread (fresh bread is awesome but if you just have your regular sandwich loaf that's okay too)
1 ripe avocado, mashed up (like you're going to make guacamole)
extra virgin olive oil
sea salt + fresh ground pepper
crushed red pepper flakes
Toast the bread. Slather on the mashed-up avocado. Drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinke a few dashes of sea salt and pepper, and dust liberally with crushed red pepper. Stuff in face. Enjoy.
I want it again!
I love avocados! Whenever I eat one, I feel like I just downed a tablet full of minerals. The only difference is that, it's natural. I love to enjoy it with evap milk under the sunny day in Los Angeles. And what's good about it, is that it does not stain your teeth, so you would not worry about teeth whitening later.

it's the best. next time skip EVOO and put a really good dijon mustard on the bread, then avo + uber fresh tomatoes and the usual RPepFlakes. ALSO a teense squeeze of lemon is a nummers twist!!
