Notes
Pro Tips

Avocados must be perfectly ripe - give at stem end. Add lime juice immediately to prevent browning. Leave avocado slightly chunky rather than pureed. Toast should be sturdy enough to hold topping without getting soggy. Everything seasoning adds the perfect savory crunch.

History & Origin

Avocado toast became a cultural phenomenon in the 2010s, though Australians claim it originated in their cafes in the 1990s. Bill Granger's Sydney restaurant is often credited with popularizing it. The dish has become shorthand for millennial brunch culture.
