👩‍🍳 Instructions

“Avocado toast is like a mini canvas,” says Chef Sandy. “The secret’s in the details — lemon, spice, and texture.”

  1. Toast your bread to golden perfection.
  2. Cut the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop into a bowl.
  3. Mash lightly with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Don’t overmix — a little texture goes a long way!
  4. Spread generously over toast.
  5. Add your twist: za’atar, red pepper flakes, and herbs.
  6. Top creatively — eggs, veggies, or seeds — and finish with a light drizzle of olive oil.
  7. 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.
