avocado toast
noun
plural avocado toasts
: toast topped with sliced or mashed avocado
Sometimes called an avocado toast (and in the United States often associated with California), it's comfort food for any time of the day. You smash half a ripe avocado onto a thick piece of multigrain toast, season it with salt, pepper and chile flakes, then give it a splash of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Anything else is a flourish: dukkah (an Egyptian spice mix), toasted pumpkin seeds, a poached egg.—
