7 Avocado Toast Recipes That Change The Game

Everything you avo wanted.

We Aussies are fond of avocado toast. Obsessed, one could say. There are a few exceptions to this (these people are met with gasps of horror), but all in all, smashed avo is part of the Australian food pyramid.

Most people's go-to is simple avo, salt and pepper on toast. Maybe lemon juice and olive oil join the party, and sometimes Vegemite steals the show in the best way possible.

But there's so much more to do with avocado toast that go way beyond simply avocado. Not convinced? Take a look.

1. Caprese avocado toast

Take your standard avo toast to the next level by adding creamy cottage cheese (or mozzarella), fresh tomato, basil leaves and sea salt. It's caprese salad on carbs, which automatically makes it the best.
