A bold statement on a controversial subject, I know.
There is many a way to enjoy the infamous ‘avo-toast’ but once you’ve happened upon the perfect flavour combination, there is no going back.
That life-affirming day came for me when frequenting a rather wonderful little cafe called Green Gorilla in Geneva. I ordered my acai-bowl, matcha latte and avocado toast like the rebel I am and casually sat to enjoy what I thought would be a fairly standard but not-too-exciting breakfast.
But standard it was not!
The perfectly ripe, soft and creamy avocado sat atop it’s lightly toasted sourdough throne. A scattering of tangy cherry tomatoes formed a crown with wafer-thin radish slices adorning it like glistening diamonds. A drizzle of sweet, sticky balsamic glaze was zig-zagged generously over the top and it was all finished off with a sprinkling of… (struggling for royal metaphor here)… sprouts. It was finished with sprouts.
Anyway, nonsense aside, this recipe is just quite simply, the ONLY way to eat avocado toast. In fact its less of a ‘recipe’ and more of an instruction manual for life. Just believe me and get the toaster on.
Enjoy my little royal avocado-eating princesses (and princes).
