Ingredients
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 small cucumber, sliced
- 1 small carrot, shredded
- Optional: black olives, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Toast the slices of bread until they are golden and crispy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, scoop out the avocados and mash them with a fork. Add the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Spread a generous layer of avocado mixture on each slice of toast.
- Time to get creative! Use the cherry tomato halves for eyes, cucumber slices for ears, and shredded carrots for hair to create fun faces on each piece of avocado toast. You can also use thin slices of black olives to add more details like eyes or smiles.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy the fun-faced avocado toasts with your family.
Helpful Tips
- Add a little bit of lime juice instead of lemon juice for a different zesty flavor.
- Ensure the avocado is ripe by gently pressing the skin. It should feel soft but not mushy.
- You can substitute multi-grain bread for an extra crunch and added nutrients.
- Get your kids involved in creating their own fun faces – it’s a great way to encourage them to eat more vegetables!
Storage Instructions
While avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh, if you need to store it, keep the avocado spread in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To prevent browning, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the avocado mixture.
Pairings
Serve your fun-faced avocado toast with a refreshing glass of orange juice for a complete, vitamin-packed breakfast. It also pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or a bowl of fresh fruit for a lighter meal.
