You inspire me to create beauty every day.
my favorite way to make it is with arugula and hot sauce 🙂
Do you know your supporting mexican drug cartel who took the farms from the people , because of money and greed.
Our brother took sister and me to Africa in November. During our safari he surprised us with hot air balloon ride. Wow wow wow. At the end of the ride we had a mango/champagne breakfast. I ordered the avocado toast. It was INCREDIBLE. Rustic toasted bread. Thick avocado with spices on top. And the side of potatoes were the best taters I’ve ever eaten. What an experience!
I love avocado toast! My recipe is toasted sourdough, chili paste, smashed seasoned avocado topped with a fried egg…scrumptious!
I love an avocado toast with an egg over easy and a crisp slice of bacon.
I’m not a big avocado fan but I love guacamole. Go figure!!
Thank you for the good idea.
Interesting. I never put garlic in mine. I'll have to try that. I put them in a bowl with bananas and tomatoes. They speed up the ripening.
This is a great demonstration Thank you for explaining the best way of making avocado toast something that I have not really ever made at home but will definitely try it now ☺️ Having the right bread and the avocado at the right stage is key it seems.
Have you ever tried it with shallots and sweet Italian balsamic vinegar?
white wine vinegar is also amazing with that.
I love that you find yourself amusing….the little grin when you look at your clipped bag and say it’s just what you have to do.😊
I know you say you can’t bring yourself to pay for avocado toast but if you ever find yourself in Perth Western Australia I highly recommend going to Chu bakery and paying for their avocado toast (and other treats). I left Perth 8 years ago and every time I make my own avocado toast I daydream about my weekend ritual of walking to that bakery and taking my toast over to the park across the road to sit in the morning sun. It’s not just avocado toast, it’s an experience.
I just found your channel. My son and I are making this avocado toast first thing tomorrow. So happy to know about you.
Best ever recipe! Thank you Rajiv ❤
woohoo! garlic. Looks delish. I love your chANNEL.
Magic in green. Bali you drink your avo's, mixed in with chocolate syrup. Try it
love that mixing technique!
Meanwhile I have my avocado ripening in a recycled paper bag that I bought mushrooms in. Great video as always.💚🥑
You're smashing your avocado too much. There should be visible 1 inch lumps in it
I usually put toum, Mediterranean garlic spread on the toast. Then mashed avocado, everything bagel topping and chaat masala and cilantro, and a heavy drizzle of evoo
I love avocado toast too. I follow a similar recipe but I add a tablespoon of home made Italian dressing into the mixture and apply it to sour dough bread toast. Yum one of my favorites!! I only purchase firm green avocados.
I'm interested in the cutting boards you made. Your kitchen is so beautiful!
Thank you for this great presentation.. yummy

Thank you for this great presentation.. yummy
Avocados were 3 for 5 dollars…I passed.
I recently discovered avocado toast and I love it! I top mine with spring mix greens, cherry tomato halves and some olive oil and balsamic glaze. I’m a fan. I wish we could be friends!
You lost me at the garlic addition, stayed on to be surprised at the EVOO! 😕😄 My recipe doesn't include garlic, butter, processed oil, or salt– it's very simple: just mash the avocado a bit w lemon juice, then spread over toast, slice a little tomato on top (+ sometimes a little black pepper, but I don't want to mask or override the subtle favors of this dish). Please try it this way sometime! 🥑
Im with you, not paying for that
Za'atar also good instead of chilli flakes
Way too much prepping. But thanks, anyway
This looks delicious!! Thank you for sharing.
I add tabasco to mine. Yum. Love your kitchen Handsome.
Thanks! I’m gonna try the recipe . I love it with egg and Cholula.
So gay
Avocados ripen in just a couple of days without putting them in a bag. I just leave them on my kitchen counter until they turn black and have the slightest give when I squeeze them slightly in the palm of my hand. Then I put them in a bowl and out them in the refrigerator. They last for at least 5 days without getting over ripe.
The title should have been: GUYS, Inflation is CRAZY……let’s make avocado toast together 😂 ❤ (jkjkjk)
My Italian husband grumbles about the prices of pasta dishes in restaurants. Pasta is very inexpensive and sauces are easy to make. $25.
Thanks for the wonderful tips! I'm going to try it tomorrow!
