Yummy Avocado Toast

Avocados have been a staple of mine for years now. I love them in salads, guacamole and even by themselves. My favorite way to eat them, however, is on toast! It probably sounds strange to you if you’ve never tried it, but I promise that it’s delicious. As much as I love avocados, the one thing that annoys me is that I almost never finish it. I wind up either throwing the rest out or putting it in the refrigerator and forgetting about it. That was until I discovered Gator Eggs, the single serving avocados!

I love Gator Eggs because one “egg” is the perfect serving size for avocado toast. It’s pointless to even make this a “recipe” post because there’s really not much to it. You just toast bread, scoop out the avocado, smear it on top of the toast, and add a sprinkle of sea salt. If you’re wondering, I used Ezekiel Bread and pink Himalayan sea salt. The Ezekiel Bread was perfect for avocado toast, because it’s dense and hearty. It wouldn’t have tasted as good if we used regular wheat or white bread. You can find Ezekiel Bread in the freezer section of your grocery store near the organic foods.

Bryan typically isn’t a huge fan of eating avocados by themselves, but he really liked the avocado toast. He even brought it up afterward and said we have to have it again this week. Next time we make it, we might try adding a bit of lime juice to add even more flavor. I can’t wait to have this again soon!

Avocados have a bunch of health benefits and are rich in many nutrients including:

• Vitamin B6, Vitamin E and monounsaturated fat - maintain a healthy heart
• Beta-sitosterol - lowers blood cholesterol levels
• Antioxidants - help in anti-aging
• Folate - protects against stroke
• Soluble fiber - keeps steady blood sugar levels
• Carotenoid lutein - promotes eye health

You can find Gator Eggs in the following locations: select Whole Foods Markets in southern CA, Las Vegas and Arizona; BJ’s Club Stores; Fresh Direct; New Seasons in Portland, Oregon; Mollie Stones in San Francisco, CA; and HY-VEE in the Midwest. If you don’t have access to any of these stores, talk to your grocer and request that they begin carrying Gator Eggs. Direct the store manager to shanleyfarms.com for additional information.
