Avocado Toast

Description

I get it that a recipe for Avocado toast is silly, but the seasoning in this recipe from Cooks Illustrated is awesome.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon juice
Coarse sea salt or kosher salt and pepper
2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted, 1 avocado chopped and 1 avocado sliced thin
4 (½-inch-thick) slices crusty bread
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Whisk oil, lemon zest and juice, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper together in small bowl. Add chopped avocado and mash into dressing with fork.
Adjust oven rack 4 inches from broiler element and heat broiler. Place bread on aluminum foil–lined baking sheet. Broil until bread is deep golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Spread mashed avocado mixture evenly on toasts. Arrange avocado slices evenly over top. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper flakes, if using, and serve.
