# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 12 slices sourdough or multigrain bread

→ Avocado Spread

02 - 4 ripe avocados
03 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Toppings

06 - 6 radishes, thinly sliced
07 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
08 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
09 - 1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
10 - 1/4 cup microgreens or baby arugula

# How To Make It:

01 - Toast the bread slices in batches until golden and crisp. Arrange them on a large serving board or platter.
02 - Halve, pit, and scoop the avocados into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy but still slightly chunky.
03 - Spread a generous layer of avocado mash onto each toast, or serve the mash in a bowl for guests to assemble their own.
04 - Arrange the toppings—radishes, cherry tomatoes, cheeses, pumpkin seeds, microgreens, egg slices, and pickled onions—in small bowls or directly on the board.
05 - Drizzle some olive oil over the avocado toasts. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, flaky salt, and black pepper as desired.
06 - Garnish with microgreens or arugula. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when really you just assembled beautiful things people already adore.
  • Everyone eats exactly what they want because they're building their own plate, which somehow makes even picky eaters happy.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes, leaving you time to actually greet your guests instead of frantically plating.
02 -
  • If your avocados are even slightly underripe, give them one more day on the counter rather than forcing it—you'll notice immediately in the texture, and guests definitely will too.
  • Assemble to-order plates if you're not serving immediately, because wet avocado and warm toast don't stay appealing for more than about 10 minutes sitting out.
03 -
  • If you're serving more than 8 people, make two boards instead of one crowded platter—it's easier to manage and somehow more visually appealing, plus no one has to reach across anyone else.
  • Rub your toasted bread with a cut garlic clove right after toasting if you want to add depth—it's subtle but makes people ask what's different about the flavor.
