Breakfast Toast 3 WAYS

Toast has become all the rage in the foodie scene. I know, it sounds kinda crazy! I mean toast has long been a staple in the kitchen. Long gone are the days of toast with jam from my grandmothers kitchen. From all sorts of different breads, sourdough, rye, wholegrain to sprouted wheat. To a huge variety of tops. Smoked salmon with cream cheese, smashed avocados topped with farm fresh egg.  Something that looks very fancy can easily be done for a fast simple breakfast lunch or dinner. Below are some basic Toasts that can be adapted for your taste!

Simple Guacamole

Ingredients

• 2 avocados
• juice of 1 lime (2 tablespoons) 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Slice open avocados lengthwise, remove the pit. How?? Take a sharp knife and carefully hit the pit with the knife, twist and remove. Scoop out the avocado guts into a medium bowl then add rest of ingredients. Take back of a fork and smash altogether. I like it chunky but if you like thinner just smash it more. Want more heat? Add more cayenne. Serve with whole grain tortilla chip or a variety of vegetables.
