Naughty & Nice Smashed Avocado Toasts

Music Pairing: Where Is My Mind? by The Pixies / Where Is My Mind? by Sunday Girl

Okay, so this really isn’t a recipe. It’s a suggestion, and one I hope you give a try. This is what you’ll need:

very ripe avocados, cut in half & pitted

salt flakes

freshly grated lemon zest

chopped fresh strawberries

good quality olive oil, optional

crispy bacon

toasted english muffins or thick-cut country bread

It might be fun to set this up as a breakfast buffet, and let everyone top as they wish. My kids would probably just go for the bacon, but that’s fine—it means more avocado for me!

Scoop the avocado out with a fork, and smash as much of it as you want on the toasted muffin or bread. Top with salt, lemon zest, and strawberries. Swirl a bit of olive oil on top, if you wish. If using the bacon, skip the fruit, zest, salt, and oil.
