LEMON CREAM CHEESE AVOCADO TOAST
The Landing Inspired Avocado Toast - I mean this thing was so good in the Bahamas that I had to bring it back home. Who needs a shirt? Give me a recipe, and I am ready. I usually get this with a side of Ricotta pancakes of course.
Sadly, I can’t duplicate their homemade bread, so I try and get Artistan or something with a crusty edge from the bakery and go from there…
WHAT YOU NEED
8 oz of cream cheese
1 loaf of Artisan/some type of crusty bread
1 Lemon-want tablespoon of zest and half a tablespoon of fresh juice from the lemon
1 avocado
1 cucumber
Fresh arugula
Cracked pepper
Olive Oil
1 Soft Egg
WHAT TO DO
Mix the tablespoon of lemon zest, the tablespoon of of lemon juice, and the 8 oz cream cheese with a hand mixer blend on medium speed
Slice your artisan bread (about 1 inch thickness)
Spread a nice healthy layer of lemon cream cheese over your bread slice
Slice cucumber (skin on or off is preference)- helpful Landy hint: I love the English cucumbers because they don’t have skin so you don’t burp. Life hack people….gotta have em.
Seed your avocado, then slice length-wise down the avocado (you want to get long pieces to put on top)
Cook your egg however you prefer. The Landing does a poached egg, but if you rather soft, that works too
Once you have your cucumber and avocado sliced, place them on top of the cream cheese. No certain way, just however you prefer and how much you prefer.
Zest some more lemon over the top of the toast
Place the arugula on top and add cracked pepper
After your egg is cooked, place it on the top of the toast and add some olive oil, and dash more cracked pepper and kosher salt
