I know that nobody - and I mean NOBODY - needs a recipe for avocado toast - we all know how to make it. Does anyone remember the avocado hand epidemic when we were amid our avocado toast obsession?
This being said, I find that your average avocado toast can get a bit monotonous and I’m here to share three examples of how I pimp my avo toast - shoutout to my friend Isla who highlighted that I have good avo toast game.
I primarily eat avo toast in the morning, but this is only a relatively new venture for me. Up until about six months ago, I would religiously eat yoghurt, granola, and berries for my breakfast, and yes, it was delicious, but it was not doing my body any good, spiking my glucose levels.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) and I, like many other women, am resistant to the action of insulin in my body (otherwise known as insulin resistance). This means my body is not as effective as others at breaking down glucose so sugar should be avoided when possible.
A savoury breakfast is now the new normal for me and I start my day with steady glucose levels as opposed to spiked glucose levels. Savoury breakfasts such as eggs on toast, smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel or the wonderful avocado toast are recommended even for people who don't suffer from insulin resistance as it helps avoid that dreaded mid-morning slump - our glucose levels are regulated.
Breakfasts like this have changed my life, my body, my mind and maybe it will do the same for you - a bold claim I know.
Avo toast with smoked salmon, creme fraiche and dill.
Smash your avo with lemon juice, salt and pepper and layer on your toast (I use sourdough).
Top with a slice of smoked salmon, a teaspoon of creme fraiche and chopped dill.
Avo toast with crumbled feta and homemade pickled onions.
Smash your avo with lemon juice, salt and pepper and layer on your toast.
Crumble your feta generously on top and add a few of your pickled onions (the recipe for this is on a previous post)
Avo toast with kimchi, spring onions and furikake.
Smash your avo with lime juice, salt and pepper and layer on your toast.
Thinly slice your spring onions on the diagonal.
Top with a tablespoon of kimchi (I use Vadasz), sprinkle over your spring onions and finish with a shaking of furikake.
NB. Please be safe when cutting your avocados.
