Avocado Toast.jpg

Ahh avocado toast…the symbol of a generation.  My generation, the millennials, who are willing to pay $19 for a piece of avocado toast and forfeit home ownership for it.  Okay, so I think 90% of the world called that statement hogwash, but it will always come to mind when I think about avocado toast now.

Avocado Toast-3

A relatively recent addition to food trends, avocado toast is popular for a reason: it’s freaking good!  I applaud whoever thought of smashing some avocado on toast because it opened a whole world of possibilities of what could go on top of those two basic ingredients.  I need mine with some bells and whistles…like this one, the idea of which I stole from one of my favorite local restaurants St. Kilda.  I am a restaurant idea thief, of that I will confess.  I LOVE to take something delicious from a restaurant and try to recreate it at home.

This avo toast has charred corn (if you don’t know about the pre-charred corn you can buy frozen at Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, you best be leaving now to go get some), feta, chunky tomato “salsa” which is really just fresh cherry tomatoes stirred together with some of my Sticky Tomato Jam, pickled red onions, and microgreens.  I recommend adding some protein to it by way of a fried or poached egg.  The restaurant serves it with cucumbers, which in my book are always optional but you do you.

Hey, if you start making avocado toast at home instead of going out for it, you can probably save enough money to buy a house!  Or you can invite your friends over and start charging them $19 apiece to speed the process up!  This one is a real beauty.

P.S. I’m sorry to you all because I said I would post this two days ago so you could have it for breakfast over the weekend.  I failed you.

Description

The perfect avocado toast: smashed avocado on sourdough bread with charred corn, feta, pickled red onions and microgreens!  Add some protein by way of an egg for a full breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices on the diagonal
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup Sticky Tomato Jam
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • Quick Pickled Red Onions
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels or 1 corn on the cob
  • Small piece of feta cheese
  • Handful of any flavor microgreens
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Sliced cucumbers, optional
  • 2 eggs, scrambled, fried or poached, if desired

Instructions

  1. Toast the sourdough slices to your desired doneness. Place on two plates.
  2. Cut the avocado in half and remove the flesh, discarding the pit in the center.  Mash the avocado in a small bowl, adding the juice of 1/2 a lemon and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.  Set aside.
  3. In another small bowl, combine the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon and the Tomato Jam, stirring to loosen the jam.  Add the cherry tomatoes, mix to coat and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Set aside.
  4. In a medium skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.  Add the corn kernels and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to warm through; try to get some char on the kernels.  Alternatively, if corn is in season, char the corn in the skillet until the kernels are softened.  Cut the kernels off the cob.  Keep the corn warm in a bowl covered with foil, reheating in the microwave for a few second if needed.
  5. To assemble, spread the mashed avocado on each piece of toast.  Spread the tomato jam down the center of the avocado.  Sprinkle the corn and crumble the feta on top.  Place the pickled red onions in the center and add a handful of microgreens to each toast.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil, if desired.  Add the cucumbers and an egg, cooked however you like, on the side if desired.

I love good food.

If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970 If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970s dinner parties, let me introduce you to the glow-up you didn’t know you needed. These Manchego-Stuffed Mushrooms with Chorizo Breadcrumbs are rich, crispy, and dangerously poppable—so much so that you might accidentally eat an entire tray while “taste-testing.” (Not speaking from experience. Definitely not.)

They’re easy enough for a casual get-together but fancy enough to pretend you have your life together. Perfect for parties, holidays, or a Tuesday night when you need a snack that’s extra.

Get the full recipe on the blog! Link in bio.

I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in late September? Am I out of my mind? Maybe. But hear me out. I found the best-looking squash blossoms I’ve ever come across at the farmer’s market on Saturday, and they were $5 for 3 big bunches and the sweet corn stand was still going on the corner, so you can’t expect me to pass that up. I’ve been waiting to recreate a dish I had at @monteverdechi in Chicago last month, so here we are…with a recipe…for squash blossoms…with sweet corn…in almost October.

I get it—it’s technically the end of squash blossom season, but if you’re lucky, you might still find a stash at your local farmers’ market or, dare I say it, a friendly neighbor’s garden (or your own?). Either way, if you can track some down, these Crab and Ricotta-Stuffed Squash Blossoms are worth the hunt. Trust me, you’ll want to savor every last bite of this seasonal gem. I can easily take down five or six of these.

Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound s Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound simple, but when done right, they pack a punch of flavor that’ll leave you wondering why you don’t make them more often. These Spicy Coconut Chicken Lettuce Wraps are no exception. Sure, they’ve got a few more ingredients than the quick weeknight dinner you might be looking for, but trust me, the payoff is huge. With layers of spicy green curry, creamy coconut, tangy pickled veggies, and two ridiculously good sauces, these wraps are a sensory experience in every bite. Whether you’re a fan of the lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang’s or you’ve fallen in love with the spicy, herb-packed flavors of Thai larb, this recipe is going to blow your mind (in the best way possible). 

Plus, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the ingredient list, I’ve got tips on how to split this into a two-day cooking adventure—because let’s be real, no one wants to spend five hours in the kitchen on a weekday.

Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire tre Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire treat: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, perfectly toasted over an open flame, leaving your fingers sticky and your soul satisfied. But, sometimes, the outdoors isn’t calling or you want to make them on a larger scale, and making a bonfire in your kitchen is frowned upon. That’s where these S’mores Bars with Toasted Marshmallow Meringue come in. They’re a modern twist on a campfire classic. They’re a perfect make-ahead dessert for parties, tailgates, and bake sales.

We’re taking all the nostalgic flavors of your childhood camping trips and leveling them up—big time. These bars start with a buttery graham cracker crust, are layered with fudgy brownie goodness, topped with rich chocolate ganache, and finished with a cloud of toasted marshmallow meringue. And the best part? You can enjoy these babies without having to swat away a single mosquito. No joke—last time I had a bonfire and made s’mores, my cousin and I came away with over 50 mosquito bites collectively.

But let’s be real, there’s always room for improvement. Enter: Salted Caramel Peach Crisp. The salty-sweet, slightly bitter caramel plays off the peaches so well. This dish is the perfect marriage of sweet, juicy peaches and a rich, salty caramel sauce, all crowned with a crisp topping that’s just begging to be devoured.
