Cali Avocado Toast

Created by Chef Brad Barnes for Cal Flavor

Serves: 4

Method: Boil/Roast

Avocado Toast with Cal Flavor Avocados is a delicious and hearty dish that elevates the classic favorite to a gourmet experience. This recipe features ripe Cal Flavor Avocados, diced to perfection, and mixed with the subtle heat of fresh jalapeño, the robust flavor of peeled garlic cloves, and the crisp white parts of scallions. Enhanced by the richness of extra-virgin olive oil, the tangy burst of lime juice, and the savory bite of halved green olives, this avocado mixture is seasoned with kosher salt and freshly crushed black pepper. Freshly chopped cilantro adds a fragrant herbaceous note. Piled high on slices of toasted sourdough bread, each piece is then topped with thick slices of juicy beefsteak tomato and perfectly sliced boiled eggs. Finished with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of coarsely ground black pepper and sea salt, this avocado toast is a vibrant and satisfying meal that highlights the creamy, rich flavors of Cal Flavor Avocados.
