By now you've probably seen your share of avocado toast recipes and photos. Just search for "avocado toast" online and you'll get hundreds of variations on this theme.

Not sure why it took me this long however I have now been on a bit of a run with this simple combo that can take on a myriad of toppings. True to my form I've kept it simple but don't let me hold you back.

Here are some toppings to consider:

everything bagel topping
crumbled hard boiled egg or fried egg
chili flakes
drizzle of olive oil
chopped cucumbers
snap peas
sliced adishes
roasted tomatoes and basil
and almost anything you can imagine really

The first step is to choose your favorite grain-free, gluten-free bread. I use my cashew sandwich bread but any will work.

Here are some more grain-free, gluten-free bread options:

English muffin {almond flour}
English muffin {almond & coconut flour}
Bagel
Sandwich rounds
Sandwich rolls

You'll want to choose an avocado that is somewhat soft but firm to the touch. Cut out any brown parts since they tend to be bitter. Also, don't leave it out too long because avocado browns after being expoed to the air. Adding lemon juice slows down this process, but store any leftover avocado tightly sealed to prevent browning. Enjoy!
