- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Diet: Vegan
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 thick slices of sourdough or whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
- 1/2 cup shelled edamame (thawed if frozen)
- 2 tablespoons classic hummus
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: Red pepper flakes, hemp seeds, or sliced radishes
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Edamame If using frozen edamame, place them in a small bowl of warm water for a few minutes until thawed. Drain well. If you prefer a softer texture, you can steam the edamame for 2-3 minutes, but room temperature thawed edamame works perfectly for a bit of bite.
- Step 2: Mash the Mixture In a medium bowl, combine the avocado, edamame, hummus, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Use a fork or a potato masher to crush the ingredients together. You can leave it slightly chunky for texture or mash it until it is mostly smooth, depending on your preference.
- Step 3: Toast the Bread Place your bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden brown and crispy. A sturdy bread like sourdough or a thick multi-grain works best to support the weight of the topping.
- Step 4: Season and Spread Stir the salt and pepper into the avocado mixture. Spread a generous layer of the green mash onto each slice of warm toast, smoothing it out to the edges.
- Step 5: Garnish and Serve Top the toast with red pepper flakes for heat, hemp seeds for extra protein, or a few thin slices of radish for crunch. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm.
