If you’ve never added cream cheese to your avocado toast then you haven’t quite lived!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s actually only recently that I started incorporating cream cheese with avocado toast. It adds a gentle tangy flavour and really enhances the natural creaminess of the avocado. Plus, you’ll find that cream cheese takes on a lot of similar flavours that avocado does. Anywho, let’s dissect how to make the perfect avocado toast in the most over the top fashion shall we?<\/p>\n

\"overhead<\/p>\n

The Bread<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The bread is important – don’t overlook this. It’s the edible plate on which your toppings rest. The foundation if you will.<\/p>\n

What kind of bread to use?<\/em><\/h3>\n

You want a sturdy loaf<\/strong>, something like a sourdough. Just to counteract the soft avocado and cream cheese. You’ll want medium slices<\/strong>. Too thick and it distracts from the toppings, too thin and it won’t be sturdy enough. You also want an oval-shaped loaf, just so the avocado fits neatly on top. Sliced avocado never looks quite right on square slices of bread.<\/p>\n

Toasting the bread<\/h3>\n

I typically toast the bread in a pan, but you can toast under the grill if you’d prefer. Either way, I recommend using extra virgin olive oil for an extra layer of flavour.<\/p>\n

Process shots: slice bread (photo 1), drizzle with oil (photo 2), add oil side down in pan (photo 3), drizzle with oil (photo 4), toast both sides (photo 5).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Avocado<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

For the avocado, you’re looking for it to be perfectly ripe. Just give it a press before buying. It should give a little, but not so much the skin begins to crack.<\/p>\n

Smash or Slice?<\/em><\/h3>\n

For this recipe, I recommend slicing the avocado. I find it gives you another layer of texture instead of mashing it, where it blends right in with the cream cheese.<\/p>\n

Process shots: halve avocado (photo 1), pit and peel (photo 2), finely slice (photo 3), gently spread out the slices (photo 4).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
