Avocado toast has a reputation for being basic. This one earns a pass. Brown Butter Parmesan brings toasted, nutty depth and a hit of Parmesan umami that plays perfectly off creamy avocado and bright lemon — no extra effort required. Eight minutes of prep, four minutes on the heat, and you have a breakfast or snack that tastes like you were actually trying.

Brown Butter Parmesan Avocado Toast

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices rustic sourdough

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1.5 tsp Spiceology Brown Butter Parmesan Blend, divided

  • 2 Tbsp freshly grated Parmesan

  • Flaky sea salt, to finish

  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

  1. Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Toast in a skillet or on a griddle over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side, until deeply golden and crisp.

  2. Mash the avocado with the lemon juice and 1 tsp of the Brown Butter Parmesan until chunky-creamy.

  3. Spread the avocado mixture over the toast. Top with grated Parmesan, the remaining 0.5 tsp of blend, flaky sea salt, and red pepper flakes if using.

  4. Serve immediately.
