Easy Avocado Toast with Ricotta

This delicious Easy Avocado Toast with Ricotta is a quick and nutritious savoury breakfast recipe idea. Also great as a healthy snack anytime!

If you are a fan of guacamole I am confident you will like this Easy Avocado Toast with Ricotta.  I am a huge fan of avocado, whether mashed, sliced or chopped, in both savoury and sweet dishes. (See my recent Chilli Chocolate Avocado Dessert). I am particularly fond of guacamole, which is the basis for this recipe.  This recipe, however, is not a dip as the ingredients are chopped rather than mashed.  Plus I’ve added ricotta, which binds all the ingredients together and creates a more filling mixture, ideal to serve on toast.

Easy avocado toast breakfast

This is a fabulously quick and easy to make recipe which you can put together in less than about 10 minutes.  Simply chop up the avocado, cilantro and shallot, add the crushed garlic, ricotta, oil, lime juice and seasoning and stir thoroughly.  If you are really pressed for time, however, you can make the avocado mixture ahead.  Keep it in the fridge in a bowl covered with cling film, for up to 5-6 hours.  It may not taste as fresh if you store it for longer.

When you are ready to serve it place a desired amount of the avocado mixture on top of your toast and scatter some black sesame seeds or chia seeds.  It will add extra goodness and more of a dramatic look to your morning toast!

Serving suggestions

The avocado ricotta mixture tastes delicious with any bread really so use your favourite. (I like to use brown, seeded or rye).  Easily make this recipe into an appetizer by swapping bread for crackers.  You could also add this avocado mixture to chicken, turkey or salmon (especially smoked!) sandwiches.
