Ronnie's Avocado Toast Recipe (Food for Life)
Brooke and I challenged each other to a Food for Life Cook-Off. For this cook, we use one of our favorite brands, Food for Life Baking Company, to create some special dishes that we can share with everyone. We created three different categories/ rounds:
1. Gourmet breakfast – A fun breakfast meal that is “jazzed” up a bit
2. Back to the basics – A classic meal using the Food for Life product in its original form
3. Thinking outside the box – Using the Food for Life products in a different form than they are originally intended for.
Why We Chose Food for Life Baking Co.
Food for Life products is easy to stand behind as they are one of the healthiest options for their food types. A majority of the products use sprouted grains and are certified organic. They don’t use any genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or artificial ingredients, preservatives, shortening, or refined sugars. They also use a unique slow-bake process that helps to preserve the natural fibers and bran befits of the grains, making the products a much healthier option. That is why we chose to shift to a better bread with Food for Life!
Why Avocado Toast?
For my “gourmet breakfast” round, I chose to make avocado toast. I love avocados and I’m always looking for fun ways to enjoy them! This avocado toast recipe is seriously delicious! I use some of my favorite foods to create a healthy and enjoyable recipe that is full of flavor! See the recipe below to give this flavorful recipe a try.
Ingredients:
2 slices of Food for Life Bread (found in the frozen section at the grocery store);
2 Ripe avocados;
Half chopped onion;
A few chopped cherry tomatoes or a half-full tomato;
Cilantro - picked off the stem and chopped;
Cotija cheese (this is the secret ingredient);
Lemon juice;
Salt and pepper.
Directions:
Cut your avocados in half and dump them into your bowl, mash the avocado pieces, and throw out the skin and seed;
Chop your onion into fine pieces and dump it into a bowl;
Chop the tomatoes and add the pieces into the bowl with the avocado and onion;
Add a tbsp of lemon juice, or heat a full lemon in the microwave for 25 seconds, cut, and squeeze the juice into a bowl;
Add the preferred amount of salt and pepper;
Stir all the ingredients together;
Put the 2 slices of bread in the toaster;
Pick the cilantro from the stems and chop it finely;
Once the bread has been toasted add the avocado mix evenly across both slices;
Crumble a few chunks of the Cotija cheese into the avocado mix;
Top both slices with the freshly chopped cilantro;
ENJOY!
