What Is Avocado Toast?
Avocado toast is a modern classic: a slice of bread topped with mashed avocado and various seasonings or toppings. While endless variations exist, this version highlights the creaminess of avocado and the quality of artisanal sourdough — with a subtle kick from chili flakes. Jimmy Fallon’s take shows how a few high-quality ingredients can elevate a breakfast staple into something special.
Cooking Tips
- Toast evenly: Lightly toast the sourdough until golden but still slightly soft inside.
- Mash with a fork: Avoid over-mixing the avocado to keep it creamy with slight texture.
- Use fresh toppings: Maldon sea salt and chili flakes are key for flavor balance.
- Drizzle olive oil last: Adds richness and a beautiful glossy finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular bread?
Yes, but Taylor Swift’s sourdough brings a chewy, flavorful edge that makes the toast extra special.
How ripe should the avocado be?
Choose a Hass avocado that’s slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy, for creamy texture and optimal flavor.
Can I add extras?
Feel free to top with sliced tomatoes, microgreens, or a poached egg for a heartier version.
Is this suitable for meal prep?
Best enjoyed immediately. Avocado may brown if prepared too far in advance, but a squeeze of lemon juice can slow oxidation.
Can I make it vegan?
Yes! This recipe is already vegan as long as your sourdough doesn’t contain butter or milk.
How to Store
Toast is best served immediately. Leftover avocado can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge with a squeeze of lemon juice for up to 24 hours.
