Hey there, fellow food lovers! Let's be honest, sometimes the simplest things in life are the best. And for me, nothing beats a perfectly made piece of avocado toast. But this isn't your average avocado toast. Oh no, this is elevated avocado toast—the kind that will make you say 'Wow, I didn't know toast could taste this good!'. We're talking creamy avocado, crunchy pistachios, and a hint of salt and pepper to bring it all together. So easy, yet so satisfying. This recipe is my go-to breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch when I'm short on time.
The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. You can easily customize it to suit your taste. Love spicy food? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Got some leftover herbs? Sprinkle those on top. The possibilities are truly endless. I encourage you to get creative and make this recipe your own! My friend, Sarah, once told me she added a drizzle of honey for a sweet and salty kick—she says it's amazing! I gotta try that sometime.

📖 Instructions
- First things first, let’s toast that bread! Pop your slices into the toaster. Aim for a nice light golden-brown color— not too dark, not too pale. You know, that sweet spot.
- While the bread is toasting, let's prep the avocado. Cut it in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Now, add the pistachios. I like to use shelled pistachios, but you can use in-shell if you're feeling ambitious (and have a really strong jaw). Roughly chop the pistachios—we want some nice chunks, not pistachio dust.
- Mash the avocado with a fork. Don't go crazy here; we want some texture. A few large chunks of avocado are just fine. We aren't aiming for guacamole here.
- Once your bread is perfectly toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice. Don't overload it—a nice, even layer will do nicely.
- Sprinkle those pistachios on top. Get that lovely green and beige contrast going on. It's visually appealing, right?
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. This brings out all those delicious avocado and pistachio flavors. Believe me, it's worth it.
- And there you have it! Your gorgeous, delicious, simple avo toast with pistachios is ready to eat. Enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. A drizzle of olive oil also works wonders!
- If your pistachios are unsalted, add a little extra salt to taste. I like to use a flaky sea salt for extra crunch and flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of bread!
