Avocado toast has long been a breakfast and lunch staple, but it doesn't always need a fried or poached egg to be delicious. While eggs add a savoury touch to the creamy, nutty avocado, there is actually a more nutrient-rich alternative that pairs even better: turkey.
This simple swap introduces fresh flavour, a new texture and a lighter feel to your morning routine. It is also quicker to prepare, making it ideal for busy weekdays and relaxed weekends. The recipe, courtesy of Good Food, takes just 10 minutes to prepare and five minutes to cook, and serves two.
To make it, halve the avocado and remove the stone, then scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Squeeze over the juice of half a lime, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and mash with a fork until rough and chunky. Lightly toast ciabatta slices until golden and crisp, spread over the mashed avocado, top with turkey slices and finish with a twist of black pepper.
Food enthusiasts have been trying the recipe and sharing their thoughts. One commented: "Very simple, very yummy. I ate mine on Rye bread rather than ciabatta as it's better for you." Another added: "I love having this for breakfast in a whole meal sarnie, when I am at work. My husband loves it too."
For those looking for another twist, there is also the "Non avo toast", which uses green peas to make a guacamole-style topping instead of avocados.
