🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is optional, but I find warming the roasted red peppers slightly enhances their flavor.
- While the oven is preheating (or if you're skipping that step), prepare the roasted red peppers. If you're using store-bought, make sure to drain them very well.
- If you're roasting your own, place the bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is blackened. Transfer them to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes. This makes peeling easier.
- Peel the skin off the peppers (it should come off easily), remove the seeds, and slice into strips.
- Toast your sourdough bread to your desired level of crispiness. I personally like mine golden brown with a bit of chewiness left inside.
- While the bread is toasting, mash the avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. This brightens the flavor and prevents browning.
- Once the toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado evenly over the surface.
- Top with the roasted red pepper strips. Arrange them artfully or just pile them on – it's your toast, after all!
- Crumble the goat cheese over the roasted red peppers. Don't be shy with it; the creamy tanginess is a perfect complement to the other flavors.
- Drizzle with a high-quality olive oil. A little goes a long way, adding richness and flavor.
- Season with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can also add a touch of heat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy every single bite! Seriously, this toast is amazing. One little trick I have is sometimes I will add a tiny bit of honey; not too much.
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Fresh basil or parsley makes a lovely garnish.
