# Directions:

02 - Halve, pit, and scoop avocados into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy but still slightly chunky.
03 - Spread a generous layer of avocado mash onto each toast, or serve the mash in a bowl for guests to assemble their own.
04 - Arrange toppings including radishes, cherry tomatoes, cheeses, pumpkin seeds, microgreens, egg slices, and pickled onions in small bowls or directly on the board.
05 - Drizzle olive oil over the avocado toasts. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, flaky salt, and black pepper as desired.
06 - Garnish with microgreens or arugula. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It lets everyone customize their own bites, which means less stress for you and pure joy for your guests.
  • The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes but looks like you spent all morning planning.
  • One board becomes the centerpiece, the conversation starter, and the meal all at once.
02 -
  • Prepare your avocados last—I once made them too early and spent the next hour watching them turn brown despite the lemon juice, which was a heartbreaker with guests arriving soon.
  • Flaky sea salt at the end makes an enormous difference; it adds texture and brightness that regular table salt can't match, so don't skip this step.
03 -
  • Rub your warm toast with a cut garlic clove before spreading avocado for a subtle, sophisticated depth that elevates the whole board.
  • Keep your avocados in the fridge until the last moment, then let them sit at room temperature for five minutes so they spread like butter instead of breaking into chunks.
