Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices of artisanal bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)
- 2 tablespoons lavender honey (regular honey can be substituted)
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh microgreens (such as arugula or basil, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a medium bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados. Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky. Set aside.
- Toast the Bread: In a toaster or on a grill, toast the slices of artisanal bread until golden brown and crisp. This will provide a sturdy base for your toppings.
- Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture onto each slice.
- Drizzle with Lavender Honey: Using a spoon, drizzle the lavender honey over the avocado toast, allowing it to cascade down the sides for an inviting presentation.
- Garnish: Sprinkle dried culinary lavender on top for an extra floral touch, if desired. Add a handful of fresh microgreens to each toast for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the toast is warm and the toppings fresh. Enjoy your whimsical lavender honey & lemon avocado toast as a delightful breakfast, brunch, or light snack!
Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added flavor and texture. This dish is sure to impress your guests and add a touch of whimsy to your table!
