One of the new emerging trends seems to be toast. Not just the slice of bread, but what you put on it. The January issue of Bon Appetit devoted a whole article to all the innovative ways you can top your toast. Feeling inspired I grabbed an Avocado and decided to mash it up and spread the creamy substance onto a thick piece of whole grain toast. I didn’t stop there. Brian had stuffed my stocking with some interesting salts from  Hepp’s Salt Company. One of them being Black Truffle Salt. As I opened the bag the smell was instantly intoxicating. As I sprinkled it on the toast I found myself licking my fingers. Calm down!!!! I know straight up eating salt is SO BAD! But you tell me if you can resist the ethereal scent that is that of Hepp’s Black Truffle Salt.

Avocado Toast with a Special Guest

ingredients

• 1 avocado (give it a squeeze to make sure it’s ripe!)

• 1/2 tsp black truffle salt

instructions

1. Use a knife to cut a slit around the whole avocado as if to cut it in half. Then I like to twist each half the opposite way to open it up.

2. Scoop out the avocado flesh and put it into a bowl. Mash it up to your desired consistency. As if you were to make guacamole.

3. Meanwhile use a whole grain (or favorite) bread and toast it. Then spread a layer of mashed avocado onto it.

4. Take a teaspoon of the truffle salt and sprinkle it over the avocado toast.
