Tip
It is all about finding perfectly ripe avocados that are slightly soft but not overly soft. They are essential for the texture of your toast, so choose with precision.
Tip
Do not cut the avocado before you are ready to assemble the toast. Avocado tends to oxidise and turn brown quickly, which makes for quite an unappealing presentation. We recommend serving the toast right after making it.

Toasted stale sourdough bread for a perfect crunch
Toasted sourdough really is one of the defining players in this avocado toast. To get the perfect crunch, we recommend using stale bread. Believe it or not, leftover bread works wonderfully as the crispy base for the creamy ingredients. Day-old bread keeps its texture really well and turns into a golden-brown delight when toasted.
A creamy base with soft white cheese and tahini
The combination of soft white cheese and tahini creates a velvety bed that enhances the richness of the avocado. White cheese imparts slightly tangy notes that help balance out the rich, buttery feel of the avocado. This ensures that the flavour profile is full of complexity and nuance with every bite you take. The nutty tahini serves perfectly as a creamy binding agent as it has a mild bitterness that pairs well with the sweetness in the other ingredients.
Let your creativity loose
While we obviously love our recipe, we also encourage you to get creative. To help you embrace your creativity, we have a few suggestions that may serve as a good starting point.
Pickled red onions are at the top of the list of ingredients you can play around with. Its tangy and slightly sweet flavour plays perfectly with the rich creaminess of the avocado. They also have a bit of bite, which only adds to the overall experience. Choose pickled red onions if you want a flavour boost as well as a pretty pink colour.
A simple choice for a simple dish is to add fresh basil leaves to the avocado slices. They infuse the dish with a refreshing herbal aroma and a subtle peppery flavour.
For a bolder option, go with roasted cherry tomatoes. Not only do they bring a burst of sweetness, but they also impart an element of acidity that helps cut through the rich avocado. Plus, they add a juicy, mushy texture and warm red shades.
