How to Prepare Australian Avocado Toast
Key Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye Bread: Rye bread is more nutritious than other bread. It has a high content of fiber and filling, including higher B vitamins than wheat bread. Rye bread is perfect for making sandwiches like avocado toast.
- 1 Avocados: Avocados contain vitamins C, E, K, and B6 and healthy, beneficial fats, which can help you feel full between meals.
- Dukkah: This is a mixture of toasted nuts, seeds and whole spices for garnishing your meals, especially sandwiches.
- 4 tbsp Goat’s cheese: Goat cheese is a healthier alternative to other cheese. In addition to its high medium-chain fatty acid content, goat cheese is absorbed easily by our bodies.
- 2 tsp lemon juice: A good source of vitamin C, which supports your skin, heart, and weight loss.
- Lemon zest: Contains natural oils that reduce cholesterol, improve bone health, and fight skin-related conditions.
- Pea shoots: Pea shoots are rich in vitamins C and K. Eating pea shoots reduces the risk of heart disease and allergies.
- Salt to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
