Enjoy Daisy!
My favorite way to add extra flavor as well as veggies is to saute chopped zucchini, onion and chopped kale and clove of sliced garlic.. I add veggies to 1/2 mashed avocado sprinkle with salt and dash of cummin. Toast dense bread (or brown in frying pan with olive oil and clove of garlic) spread mixture and top with over med. fried egg. My husband loves it!!
Your version sounds delicious Nancy!
I like sprinkling lemon pepper on mine!
My favorite topping is a dusting of Tajin, a Mexican spice blend of chili, salt and dehydrated lime juice.
That sounds delicious John!

I love rye bread toast with butter or peanut butter, I absolutely love avocados, I’m asking for a recipe for a good avocado to spread on my toast. Please send one or a few avocado spreads to use on my rye bread toast. And maybe a avocado pasta salad. Something good for me as I’m trying to lose . I’m shooting for losing 50 pounds. Thank you so much in advance.
Hi Linda, We love this avocado pasta salad and this avocado dip would make for a great spread on toast. You will have to let us know what you think of them!
This was the best avocado toast I’ve ever had. Added the EVOO and lemon at the end.
