About this recipe

Spicy Avocado Toast with Cheddar is a dish that evolved from my love for simple, flavorful breakfasts and my slight obsession with avocados. I first encountered a version of avocado toast years ago, but it always felt a little…lacking. It needed a kick, a bit of brightness, and definitely some cheese! This recipe is the result of countless tweaks and experiments, aiming for that perfect balance of creamy, spicy, and savory. The beauty of this dish lies in its fresh ingredients. The avocado, of course, is the star. Choose a perfectly ripe avocado – it should yield to gentle pressure but not be mushy. Its creamy texture forms the base of the salsa, providing a rich and satisfying mouthfeel. The tomatoes add a juicy sweetness and a touch of acidity, while the coriander brings a vibrant, herbaceous note. The lime juice is crucial; it brightens the flavors, prevents the avocado from browning too quickly, and adds a zesty tang. The red chili, finely chopped, provides the heat. Use half a chili for a gentle warmth, or add more if you like it fiery. The sourdough bread provides a sturdy and slightly tangy base for all the toppings. Its thick slices are essential for soaking up the egg mixture without becoming soggy. Finally, the strong cheddar adds a sharp, savory element that complements the avocado perfectly. The Thermomix® plays a key role in two steps: whisking the eggs and grating the cheddar. For the eggs, the 10 seconds at speed 3 ensures they are well combined and slightly frothy, which results in a lighter and more evenly cooked eggy bread. When grating the cheddar, be sure to use a cold block of cheese for best results. The 5 seconds at speed 5 should produce perfectly grated cheese without turning it into a paste. If you prefer a coarser grate, reduce the time slightly. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl after grating to ensure all the cheese is collected. When cooking the eggy bread, use a non-stick pan and medium heat to prevent burning. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the slices one at a time if necessary. For variations, you can easily adapt this recipe to suit your preferences. For a vegetarian option, simply omit the cheese or substitute it with a plant-based alternative. For a vegan version, use a vegan egg substitute and vegan cheese. You can also experiment with different spices. A pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of cumin can add depth and complexity to the avocado salsa. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can also boost the heat. Serve this spicy avocado toast immediately after assembling. It's delicious on its own for a quick breakfast or brunch. For a more substantial meal, pair it with a side of crispy bacon or a fresh green salad. A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt can also add a cooling element to balance the spice. While best enjoyed fresh, the avocado salsa can be prepared a few hours in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent browning. The eggy bread is best cooked right before serving, but you can grate the cheese ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
