Notes
Hass avocados vary in size. This recipe uses two small Hass avocados, but if you’ve got a big, beefy avocado on your hands, you might just need one.
Pick a hearty bread like sourdough for the best results.
The number of servings from this recipe depends on your bread size and how much avocado you like to pile on. Typically, it makes about 2 large slices of avocado toast or 3 smaller slices, like the ones from the ends of a sourdough loaf.
Consider using a mix of the green and white parts of the green onions. The white part adds a sharp, savory kick, while the green part is milder and sweet, offering a fresh flavor. Together, they enhance the avocado toast with a balanced taste and a crisp, pretty finish.
Consider using a mandoline to get those really thin slices that make this taste gourmet.
