May 11 How to Make Instagram Worthy Avocado Toast

We all love avocado toast. Whether it is prepared simply with salt & pepper, or topped with bacon and an over easy egg, avocado toast is the perfect bite. I am constantly seeing beautifully prepared avocado toast on my Instagram feed, and I wanted to share with you all how you can achieve this with some simple steps!

Step One

Cut a ripe avocado in half. You want to make sure it isn't mushy or underripe. A good way to tell when an avocado is ripe is to hold it in your hand and lightly squeeze. It should be firm, but just be slightly indented when you push down.

Step Two

Peel the pitted half of the avocado. I usually use just one half for my toast, but if you prefer to use the whole avocado, take the pit out with a knife and peel both halves.

Step Three

Next, you want to cut the avocado in thin slices crosswise. You can do it lengthwise too, but I prefer the look of the toast when it is cut crosswise.

Step four

Once you've cut the avocado in thin slices, you are ready to place it on your toast. I like to put a tablespoon of hummus on my toast before placing the avocado on top. Take the halved, sliced avocado in your hand and gently separate the slices so that you can see every slice, but also so they are still sticking together. Then, place the avocado on your toast.

Step Five

Now that you have your beautiful avocado slices placed on the toast, it's time to add your favorite toppings! I like tri-colored tomatoes, black pepper, sea salt, and crushed red pepper chili flakes.
