Avocado toast

Smashed avocado on wholegrain toast with lemon and chilli flakes Ripe avocado mashed straight onto hot toast with a fork, a squeeze of lemon, salt and chilli flakes: four minutes, and it feels like a café breakfast for a fraction of the price. Add a microwave-poached or scrambled egg if you want it to last longer. The catch is ripeness. A hard avocado will not mash and an overripe one is brown inside, so buy a couple at different stages and keep the ripe one in the fridge to slow it down. Half an avocado per person is plenty.
