Toast & Spreads

Tomato Basil Avocado Toast

Salting the tomato slices first and letting them rest draws out the extra moisture that would otherwise turn your toast soggy.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices gluten-free bread
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 5 fresh basil leaves, torn
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • black pepper to taste

Method

  1. 1

    Lay the tomato slices on a paper towel, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 10 minutes — this draws out excess water so your toast stays crisp instead of getting soggy underneath.

  2. 2

    Toast the gluten-free bread until golden.

  3. 3

    Mash the avocado and spread it over the toast.

  4. 4

    Pat the tomato slices dry, arrange them over the avocado, and top with torn basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and black pepper.
