The most important aspect of avocado toast, is obviously the avocado. As discussed in our post on how to make an avocado rose, the ripeness and variety of the avocado is the key to making the best avocado toast. So once you have your perfect avocado you are ready to begin. Grab your favorite savory loaf of bread, and let’s make a good avocado toast!

How to Make Great Avocado Toast
There are many different types of avocado that grow. So you are probably thinking, which one do I choose. We personally like to use the hass variety, particularly because it has a really creamy texture. This texture is perfect for spreading or mashing on toast.
Haas avocados are famous, and are the most known variety. Rudolf Hass planted a small plantation of avocado seeds and patented these trees. He later discovered this variety of avocado tree originated in Guatemala.
So once you’ve got the perfect avocado, it’s only fitting to use your favorite bread. Of course it doesn’t necessarily matter if the bread is toasted or not, but when toasted the bread becomes nice and warm. This really adds to the comforting feeling of eating this amazing snack.
The key ingredients to really jazzing up are lemon/lime juice, and salt. These can easily be added on top, or mixed into an avocado smash.
Avocado Rose
Our favorite ways to eat them are with an avocado rose or avocado mash. Making an avocado rose is more simple than it looks. All it takes is a little attention and detail when cutting the avocado. It can be a very fun edible art project. Try our step by step tutorial on how to make an avocado rose.
