Yard House Avocado Toast Recipe
This Yard House Avocado Toast Recipe brings a popular restaurant-style breakfast to your kitchen with crisp toast, creamy ripe avocado, salted butter or mayo, black pepper, and a few dabs of hot sauce. It takes about 5 minutes to prepare and is easy enough for a quick weekday breakfast or relaxed brunch. I love how the simple ingredients keep the avocado front and center. Serve your avocado toast with scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, crispy breakfast potatoes, or coffee for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 slice bread preferably with a tender, easy-to-bite crust
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 –2 teaspoons salted butter or mayonnaise, optional
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Hot sauce to taste
Instructions
- Step 1 - Toast the Bread: Place one slice of bread in a toaster and toast it until it is crisp and lightly browned. Choose bread with a crust that is easy to bite through so the toast is comfortable to eat.
- Step 2 - Add the Butter or Mayo: Spread a thin layer of salted butter over the toasted bread. You can use mayonnaise instead, or leave the toast plain if you prefer.
- Step 3 - Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado open and remove the pit. Peel the avocado away from the skin, then cut the flesh into pieces. You can mash the avocado if you want a softer, creamier topping, but leaving it in pieces works well too.
- Step 4 - Cover the Toast With Avocado: Arrange the avocado pieces over the toast, spreading them across the entire surface. Press or spread the avocado as needed so the bread is completely covered.
- Step 5 - Season the Avocado Toast: Grind salt over the avocado, then add black pepper to taste. Finish with a few dabs of hot sauce for a little heat.
- Step 6 - Serve: Serve the avocado toast immediately while the bread is still crisp and the avocado is fresh. Do not freeze the finished toast, as freezing it will negatively affect the texture and flavor.
