Avocado<\/a> toast is a crowd favorite for breakfast because it\u2019s delicious and easy to make in the morning, but that doesn\u2019t mean you only have to stick to two ingredients. On their own, avocados are full of nutrients like vitamin C, folate, and potassium, among other benefits. This superfood is also helpful for lowering cholesterol and weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We like to think of avocado toast as a healthy, open-faced sandwich with plenty of options for toppings, like eggs, arugula, tomatoes, or radishes. Whether you\u2019ve got dietary restrictions or want a more filling breakfast, avocado toast is the perfect foundation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Pick & Ripen Avocados<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all been there before, you\u2019re at a grocery store, and all the avocados for sale are rock-hard and unripe. When the texture and the taste of ripe avocado<\/a> is amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that avocados ripen after they are harvested, and there are tricks to ripen them at home quickly. A natural plant hormone called ethylene is a by-product of fruit ripening. The ethylene produced during this process also helps ripen other surrounding fruits.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So all you need to do to ripen avocados at home is place your unripened avocado and an apple or banana (two fruits that ripen quickly and produce this hormone) in a paper bag. Fold the bag closed and place it on the counter for a day or two; this should ripen your avocado in no time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing The Best Bread For Avocado Toast<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"loaf<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The main things you want to consider when picking bread for your avocado toast are the size, texture, and sturdiness. We love fluffy bread, but this isn\u2019t the right application. The perfect size for us is a slice of toast at least 3\u201d x 5\u201d. It allows for enough avocado to be filling but not so much you get sick of it. Some recommendations for bread varieties are french loaves, thick whole-grain loaves, and sourdough.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our favorite go-to bread choice for avocado toast is sourdough<\/strong> loaves because they\u2019re sturdy enough to withstand avocado smashing and hold up plenty of fancy avocado toppings. We also love the chewy texture, and the slightly acidic flavor pairs well with fattier sauces and seasonings like olive oil or pesto. Also, sourdough bread has nutritional benefits because it contains fermented ingredients and is easier to digest due to its yeast content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Cut & Store Avocado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"holding<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Use a knife to cut into the avocado lengthwise, and when the knife hits the pit, begin to turn the avocado and slice as you go. Once you\u2019ve gone in a circle, twist the halves and open them to reveal the center. Take the half with the pit and face the pit away from you (the skin side should face you). Gently hold the edges of the avocado with your pointer fingers and push the back center of the avocado with your thumbs, and the pit should pop out. Use a spoon to gently scoop the meat and slice it with a knife once it\u2019s on the cutting board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"storing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you have extra avocado, store it in an air-tight container in the fridge and eat it within the next day to prevent eating brown avocado. If you have a whole, uncut avocado already ripened, we recommend placing this in the fridge in the produce drawer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avocado Toast Toppings for Extra Protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make our avocado toast more filling, we love to add as much protein as we can. Not only is it satisfying to eat, adding protein also keeps up fuller for longer periods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
