Avocado toast is a cafe staple, but starting with a premium foundation makes all the difference. For the best texture and flavor, our artisanal, naturally fermented organic gluten-free sourdough bread must be toasted before eating. Once toasted to a crisp, golden medium, it provides the perfect sturdy, gut-friendly base for creamy avocado, crunchy radishes, and a vibrant drizzle of olive oil.

Ingredients
- 1 slice Cook’s Organic Gluten-Free Sourdough
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Optional Toppings (Highly Recommended):
- Thinly shaved radish slices
- Fresh thyme leaves (or basil)
- Red pepper chili flakes
- A drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Toast the Bread (Crucial Step): To achieve the perfect artisanal texture, your gluten-free sourdough must be warmed or toasted before consumption. Toast your slice to medium or medium-high until the edges are golden and crisp.
- Prep the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, scoop the avocado half into a small bowl. Add a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of salt, then lightly mash it with a fork. Leave it a bit chunky for a rustic texture.
- Build the Base: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the warm, freshly toasted sourdough.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with thinly shaved radishes, a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves, red pepper chili flakes, and freshly cracked black pepper. Finish with a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and serve immediately.
