Easy Upgrade Ideas
Pick one or mix a few:
1. Protein Boost
Fried egg (sunny side up or over easy) on top
Boiled egg, sliced
A sprinkle of grated cheese (cheddar, feta, or parmesan)
2. Extra Flavor
Sprinkle chili flakes or hot sauce
Add garlic powder or a tiny bit of minced garlic to the avocado
Sprinkle dried herbs like oregano or Italian seasoning
3. Fresh & Crunchy
Sliced tomato or cucumber
A handful of baby spinach or rocket (arugula) under the avocado
Toasted seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame) or chopped nuts
Super Quick “Lazy” Version
If you’re really in a rush:
Toast bread.
Cut avocado in half, remove pit.
Scoop half the avocado directly onto the toast and mash it on the bread with a fork.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and maybe some chili flakes. Done.
