Avocado toast is a morning staple, but if you're looking for a change or want to cut back on bread, a simple two-ingredient swap delivers an equally satisfying breakfast. Recipe developer Paula at Call Me PMc suggests pairing avocado with just Parmesan and lime for a quick, nutrient-packed meal.
A Healthier, Filling Alternative
Avocado is rich in healthy fats and fibre, keeping you full longer. This grilled cheesy avocado recipe takes only six to eight minutes to prepare and is versatile enough for breakfast, a snack, or a side dish.
Paula commented: "There are a couple of great things going on here with this avocado side dish! It's healthy, filling, beautiful (we do eat with our eyes first!), and it's an easy six-to-eight-minute meal or snack."
How to Make Grilled Cheesy Avocado
Ingredients:
- One medium avocado
- One lime, zested and juiced
- Two tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat the oven or toaster oven to the grill setting and let it reach full temperature. Slice the avocado in half lengthways, remove the stone, and place the halves on a heat-resistant tray. Drizzle with lime juice, then scatter Parmesan, lime zest, salt, and pepper evenly.
Grill for about four minutes until the cheese melts and turns light golden. Serve immediately while hot.
Fans Love It
Enthusiastic comments on the website include: "Thank you!! I'm eating this at about 15 min after I read the recipe. My new fave!" Another added: "I knew I was gonna put parm on my avocado for dinner, but it sounded bland. I googled those keywords, found this and am SO happy I tried it. The lime really just adds so much."
Alternative: Stuffed Avocados
For another quick, nutritious option, try stuffed avocados with spicy beans and feta. A culinary expert at Good Food recommended this combination, saying: "This super speedy meal is packed with vegetarian sources of protein - creamy avocados with spicy kidney beans and crumbled cheese."
