Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is still at the top of my list for plant-based breakfasts. You can garnish it with so many different toppings, so you'll never get tired of it. Sweet things are good too, but I prefer to start my day with something savoury most of the time.

I tried avocado toast topped with chunks of baked sweet potato last week. It was strange. I probably won't do that again.

This toast has a layer of Muhammara under the avocado. Muhammara is a delicious Middle Eastern dip made with red peppers, breadcrumbs, pomegranate paste, and other delicious ingredients. I purchased mine at a Middle Eastern store, but you can make your own using this recipe.

This toast starts with a layer of classic hummus. On top of the avocado, I added some roasted red peppers and arugula. I don't like arugula in a salad, but when you put it on top of things, the spicy flavour disappears. It's a good way to get more greens in. Put them on top of other, more delicious things.
