Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of whole-grain bread (or bread of your choice)
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for brushing the toast)

- Poached or fried eggs

Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Using a large heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut each slice of bread into a heart shape. Save the leftover scraps for croutons or breadcrumbs.
- Toast the bread: Lightly brush each heart-shaped slice with olive oil (optional for extra crispness) and toast in a skillet over medium heat, or use a toaster until golden brown. Set aside.
- Mash the avocado: In a medium bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash it with a fork. Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the toasts: Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado onto each heart-shaped toast.
- Add toppings: Customize your toasts with your favorite toppings. For example:
- Top with cherry tomato halves, microgreens, and a sprinkle of feta cheese for a Mediterranean vibe.
- Add a fried egg, red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil for a breakfast-inspired version.
- Use pomegranate seeds and a drizzle of honey for a sweet and tangy option.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the avocado toast hearts on a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
