👩🍳 Instructions
“Avocado toast is like a mini canvas,” says Chef Sandy. “The secret’s in the details — lemon, spice, and texture.”
- Toast your bread to golden perfection.
- Cut the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop into a bowl.
- Mash lightly with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Don’t overmix — a little texture goes a long way!
- Spread generously over toast.
- Add your twist: za’atar, red pepper flakes, and herbs.
- Top creatively — eggs, veggies, or seeds — and finish with a light drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy every bite.

💡 Chef Sandy’s Pro Tips
- Use slightly underripe avocados for a chunkier texture.
- Toast the bread just before serving for maximum crunch.
- Add a pinch of garlic powder for an extra savory kick.
🔥 Recipe Variations
- The Brunch Star: Add a poached egg and smoked paprika.
- Mediterranean Style: Feta crumbles, olives, and fresh mint.
