Smashed Chilli Avocado on Toast

Smashed Chilli Avocado on Toast is a simple recipe that is so quick to prepare but tastes so amazing. I love to add a finely sliced red chilli to the avocado for a little heat or alternatively add red chilli/pepper flakes. This is strangely an Australian creation and was first served 30 years ago in a bar called Bills. Serve this vegetarian delight as a snack, starter or breakfast/brunch.

Like many dishes, you can adapt the Smashed Chilli Avocado on Toast recipe. Try adding tomatoes or a poached or fried egg, slices of bacon or even them all. However you can add not just toppings but filling as well. I’ve added finely sliced scallions, shallots or garlic powder all have a distinct hit on this dish.
