A vibrant and simple summer breakfast. Creamy, seasoned avocado is spread on crisp, cooled toast and topped with sweet-tart fresh berries for a light, satisfying, and joyful meal that comes together in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices hearty bread (sourdough, whole grain, or seeded)
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime or lemon juice
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Optional: honey or maple syrup, fresh mint or basil, chia or hemp seeds

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely for about 1 minute to prevent sogginess.
  2. While toast cools, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a small bowl.
  3. Add the lime juice and a pinch of sea salt to the avocado. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth but with some chunks remaining.
  4. Rinse the berries and pat them thoroughly dry with a clean kitchen towel. Hull and slice strawberries if using.
  5. Divide the mashed avocado evenly between the two cooled toast slices, spreading to the edges.
  6. Arrange the fresh berries on top of the avocado.
  7. Finish with a crack of black pepper, an extra tiny pinch of salt, and any optional garnishes like a drizzle of honey or fresh herbs.

Notes

The key to preventing soggy toast is to let it cool completely before adding toppings. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread. For extra richness, add a dollop of ricotta or goat cheese under the avocado. The avocado mixture can be made ahead and stored with plastic wrap pressed directly on its surface in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
