Avocado Toast

Go to any trendy brunch spot and you'll probably find some version of avocado toast on the menu.  I am sharing a few different takes the dish.  I love it for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  We got some great sourdough bread from Smitty Bread, a local bakery, on Saturday and I had some avocados and veggies for salads that I never made so I decided to have avocado toast a few ways.  I'm sharing some ways that I enjoy avocado toast below.  Let me know what your favorite ways to eat avocado toast are so I can try some new variations! Tonight I had watermelon radishes which I tossed in olive oil and red wine vinegar, regular radishes, cherry tomatoes, Mexican fiesta microgreens, and lemon so I whipped up different versions for each half of the two slices of bread I cut from the sourdough loaf. 

My favorite is still just the basic smashed avocado, red pepper flakes, garlic, and fried egg!  I also can't wait for tomatoes fresh from the garden to add to the toast!
