Gordon Ramsay's Avocado Toast
About this recipe
Gordon Ramsay's Avocado Toast is a vibrant and flavorful take on a classic dish. With its rich avocado and smoky grilled sourdough, this recipe elevates a simple breakfast into something special.
This version stands out thanks to the addition of black sesame seeds and chili flakes, which add a delightful crunch and a kick of heat. Plus, the lemon juice not only enhances the flavor but also prevents the avocado from browning.
Ingredient notes
- Use 3 slices of sourdough bread, but you can substitute with chipotle or a baguette if desired.
- Choose 1 medium ripe avocado, free from soft spots and blemishes for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes to taste, depending on your heat preference.
- You'll need 1 medium lemon for squeezing over the avocado.
Tips from Vintage TV Club’s video
- Grilling the bread instead of toasting it gives a nice smoky flavor that enhances the overall dish.
- To check if your avocado is ripe, gently press on the end; if it softens, it's ready to use.
- When cutting the avocado, slice down to the stone, twist to remove it, and then fan out the quarters for a beautiful presentation.
