Get ready for an epic new plant-based breakfast game with our Smashed Peas and Avocado Toast. It’s so simple yet so satisfying! Now, don’t get me wrong, I believe a simple smashed avocado toast with a touch of lemon, chili flakes, and salt on grilled sourdough is one of the most perfect food combos ever invented. So, I’m not going to say this is an elevated avocado toast because avocado toast doesn’t need elevation; it’s already top-tier. What I will say is, if you’re like me and have had a bag of frozen peas sitting in the back of your freezer for months (sorry, little forgotten peas 🥲), this recipe is for you. The peas add extra texture, fiber, and a bit of protein, while the lime, jalapenos, and coriander make it deliciously tangy and spicy. Plus, it keeps for a couple of days in the fridge in a sealed container, thanks to the lime juice, making it a perfect addition to any breakfast, brunch or salad.
Why This Recipe Works
- Fiber-rich: Thanks to the green peas and avocado.
- Quick to Make: This is seriously fast! Just add everything to a food processor (or a small blender), and you’ll be munching in no time!
- Flavor Bomb: Each bite is a burst of flavor!
Step-By-Step Instructions
First, blend together the avocado, frozen peas, lime juice, jalapenos, and coriander with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper in a food processor. Next, grill your 1-Ingredient Buckwheat Bread (or sourdough) slices until they’re just the way you like them. Then, layer on that scrumptious avocado-pea mixture, followed by radish slices and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds. Finally, take a bite and savor that sweet, zesty avocado toast!
