Avocado Toast

Avocados. They’ve been sweeping the nation as a favoured super food in recent years, and have found a spot on just about every breakfast and brunch menu worth its salt - they’re just that popular. So popular in fact that in the summer 2017, 3 million photos of avocados were posted to Instagram every day. If you’re a real avocado aficionado and you’d like to fact-check that one, we saw it here, along with a few more avocado facts.

So what makes this big green fruit so healthy? Avocados, sometimes called alligator pears for their pear shape and bumpy brown peel, have a surprising array of health benefits. They’re packed full of healthy fats, fiber, protein, and more potassium than a banana! So good you could just spread it on toast and eat it. Speaking of…

This recipe, like the avocado, is a classic. Quick, simple, and easy, it’s well worth knowing so you can whip it up when a bowl of cereal for breakfast just isn’t going to cut it. It’s a great way to use up an avocado before it goes bad, and it can be personalised with whatever herbs and toppings your heart desires! We suggest topping it off with a good poached egg and crushed-up pine nuts for a real energy-rich breakfast.
