Italian Inspired Avocado On Toast

How’s this for a super simple, super tasty brunch or lunch idea? This Italian Style Avocado Toast combines delicious Italian flavours of mozzarella, prosciutto, tomatoes, basil and olive oil and serves them on delicious rye sourdough toast. You just can’t go wrong with this combination of flavours!

Italian Inspired Avocado on Toast

So this recipe happened like so many of my recipes, by accident!! (Yeah, I know, this is becoming a bit of a habit – I would like to point out I generally do my online shop late on Monday nights, I am barely awake – hence all those happy accidents). I was supposed to be making one of Madeleine Shaw’s avocado on toast recipes from her fab book Ready Steady Glow, but I forgot to buy feta, so I decided so sub in some mozzarella I happened to have loafing around in the fridge, and then I spotted the prosciutto and a little idea began to form in my head…an Italian Style Avocado Toast – that could only be a good thing, right?

So I abandoned Madeleine’s recipe entirely (sorry Madeleine – I’m sure your recipe is very nice too!) and created my own adding in basil, mixed coloured cherry tomatoes, good quality extra virgin olive oil and plenty of salt and pepper, serving it all on some rather awesome rye sourdough bread from my local bakers…and OH MY GOODNESS it tasted good. I mean it was hardly surprising really given all those scrumptious ingredients, but still…it was seriously good.

And best of all this recipe only takes 5 minutes to make – perfect for a simple summer lunch…or breakfast…or brunch…or even a quick supper – quite frankly I’d eat this any time of the day! And if you want to make this even more fantastic, why not have it with a nice cold glass of Italian white wine – try Soave or Gavi (though maybe not for breakfast!).

    These are my all time favourite types of recipes. The moments of culinary genius in the kitchen whilst bashing something together Swedish Chef style ?
