If you have been on Instagram in the last year or so, you know what an avocado toast is. Ranging from a breakfast staple or a gorgeous appetizer, it gives any chef a chance to be creative. With springs arrival, I used gorgeous chives and easter egg radishes as my garnish to give my toast a girlish vibe. The toasts get extra aroma and flavour from the garlic oil used in the mixture and as a topper for the toasts before they are grilled.

Total Time
30 min
Ingredients
- 1/2 baguette, sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic oil
For the Avocado Mixture
- 1 large avocado
- Half a lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic oil
- 2 radishes, shaved thin on a mandolin
- Chives, for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Oil
- 1 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic
- Few sprigs thyme
- Pinch of chilli flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium high heat.
- For the garlic oil, in a small pot add all of the ingredients over medium heat. Bring the oil to a simmer, and cook until the garlic has turned golden, about 10 minutes. Strain the oil through a sieve into a bottle or jar, ready for drizzling.
- For the avocado spread, combine the avocado, garlic, garlic oil and squeeze in the lemon juice, discarding any seeds. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- On both sides of each baguette slice, brush a touch of the garlic oil. Grill the baguette on both sides until grill marks appear and the bread becomes golden and toasty.
- Spread the avocado mixture on one side of the baguette. Top with a couple radishes and garnish with chives. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Garlic oil can be used for anything! Pastas, roasted veggies or even just a fancy dip (you can't go wrong).
