Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
- 1 ripe avocado
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Remove goat cheese from refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften, which will make whipping easier.
- In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the goat cheese until light, fluffy, and smooth. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes, creating a creamy texture.
- Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp. Use a toaster or a grill pan for best results.
- While bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
- Once toast is ready, spread a generous layer of the whipped goat cheese on each slice of bread.
- Top the goat cheese layer with the mashed avocado, distributing it evenly across the toast.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Optional: Sprinkle red pepper flakes for added heat and garnish with fresh herbs like chopped chives, basil, or parsley.
- Serve immediately while toast is still warm and enjoy your breakfast.
Tips
- Room Temperature is Key: Ensure your goat cheese is slightly softened before whipping to achieve that dreamy, light texture. Let it sit out for 10-15 minutes before preparing.
- Whipping Technique: Use an electric mixer for the smoothest results, but a vigorous hand whisk can work too. Beat until the cheese becomes notably lighter and fluffier.
- Bread Selection Matters: Choose a sturdy, artisan-style bread like sourdough or rustic whole grain for the best toast foundation. Ensure it's crisp and golden for optimal texture.
- Avocado Ripeness: Select an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure but isn't mushy. This ensures the perfect creamy consistency without being too hard or too soft.
- Seasoning Secrets: Don't be shy with salt and pepper. They enhance the flavors of both the goat cheese and avocado. Fresh herbs and red pepper flakes can add an extra flavor dimension.
- Serve Immediately: This toast is best enjoyed right after preparation while the bread is still warm and crisp. The contrast between the warm toast and cool, creamy toppings is sublime.
