Tostada con Aguacate (Avocado Toast)
Tostada con Aguacate (Avocado Toast) is Spanish home cooking, eaten at breakfast. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 2 slices rustic bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 pinch salt
How to cook it
- Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler until golden and crisp.
- Halve and pit the avocado, scoop the flesh into a bowl, and mash it roughly with a fork.
- Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir in the olive oil and the salt.
- Spread the mashed avocado thickly over the warm toast.
- Serve right away; a modern weekday breakfast now common in Spanish cities alongside the older tostada con tomate, not a replacement for it.
