Pro Tips

For an extra special touch, add whipped cream to the French toast or a sprinkle of microgreens on the avocado toast.

Tips for a Perfect French Toast

To ensure your French toast turns out perfectly, use day-old bread, as it absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming too soggy. Brioche or challah are excellent choices, adding richness and flavor. Also, make sure your skillet is adequately heated before adding the soaked bread; this will help achieve that golden-brown crust that everyone loves.

Don’t hesitate to experiment with different toppings! While strawberries and maple syrup are classic, consider adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dollop of yogurt for an extra touch of indulgence. A side of crispy bacon can also complement the sweetness perfectly, creating a balanced breakfast plate.

Avocado Toast Variations

Avocado toast is incredibly versatile, and you can elevate it with various toppings. Try adding a poached egg for extra protein or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for a flavor boost. For a refreshing twist, consider adding sliced radishes or pickled onions to enhance the taste and texture.

If you're looking for a more filling option, layer the avocado on top of fresh spinach or arugula. This not only adds nutrients but also makes the dish look even more appealing. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to get creative and make this dish your own.
