Simple Sourdough Avocado Toast Recipes

Ah, avocado toast. Just typing that makes my stomach rumble. Dive with me into the world of Simple Sourdough Avocado Toast Recipes. We’re talking chunky avocado, zesty lemon, the mighty red pepper flake, and the most deliciously crunchy sourdough bread you can find. This isn’t just toast — it’s an experience. It’s the kind of thing that makes mornings feel less like a crawl out of bed and more like a cozy invitation to the day. Plus, it’s so simple, you can make it with your eyes half-closed (and I usually am when creating this masterpiece).
So, let me tell you about my little family saga. This toast? It’s become a Sunday staple. My husband, who never thought much of toast other than it being a bland breakfast choice, eats it standing right there at the kitchen counter. It’s not a formal meal ritual—it’s more like “grab it before someone else does” kind of vibe. And the kids? Well, they didn’t stand a chance of finding toast exciting until I tricked it out with all the toppings. Avocado toast may not solve world peace, but it sure does keep the family from squabbling for a bit!

How to Make It
Alright, grab that perfect ripe avocado that you always thought only existed in grocery store ads. Slice it open, avoid that tricky pit like a ninja, and start mashing away. I like it chunky, but hey, if you want it smoother, go for it. Now, while you’re doing that, let’s get that bread going. Pop your sourdough in the toaster until it’s golden like those endless Californian sunsets people romanticize about. Once it’s out, do a little happy dance, then slather it with your avocado goodness. Sprinkle a dash of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a smattering of red pepper flakes unless you’re scared of a little spice. Done. Boom. Eat it before someone else does.
Ingredient Notes
– Avocado: Find a perfectly ripe one — none of those rock-hard ones. Seriously, patience isn’t just virtue but necessity here.
– Sourdough Bread: Don’t skimp. Go for one of those fancy loaves with the lovely uneven crusts. Trust me, you want that crunch.
– Lemon Juice: Adds zing, but I once used lime when I ran out of lemons. No one died.
– Red Pepper Flakes: Want to feel alive? Use these liberally. Not a spice fan? Go light, no shame.
Recipe Steps:
1. Slice and de-pit the avocado, then mash it however you enjoy.
2. Toast the sourdough bread to golden perfection.
3. Spread the mashed avocado on the toast generously.
4. Sprinkle with salt, squeeze on lemon juice, and add red pepper flakes as desired.
5. Taste-test (optional, but highly recommended).
What to Serve It With
This toast is basically a solo star but feel free to jazz it up alongside a scrambled egg, a side of bacon, or pretend you’re fancy with a kale salad. It’s a winner either way.
Tips & Mistakes
– Don’t overdo it with the toppings unless you love a structural challenge.
– Soggy bread is a no-go. Toast it. Double toast if you must.
Storage Tips
Okay, this is one of those rare cases where leftovers just don’t do it justice. Avocados go brown faster than I can say guacamole. But if you must, keep the avocado mash in an airtight container with a bit of lemon juice and make a fresh batch tomorrow. Eat it cold, guiltily, at midnight — life’s too short for rules.
Variations and Substitutions
If the cupboard’s looking a little bare, here are my go-to switches: no sourdough? A good crusty baguette will do. Low on lemons? Lime’s your pal. Experiment with toppings from everything spice to feta cheese crumbles—whatever keeps that culinary spirit sparking. And yes, I’ve hit avocado slumps and just tossed on a bit of olive oil and sea salt before. Still magical.
