NYC's Best Avocado Toast-Easy Recipe

[@traekas7228]

Hey! Try using a fork for smushing the avocado! A spoon doesn’t give me enough control over the results.

[@scottallen8950]

Nice... I've used a fork before but I find that I can't get a clean scoop of avocado so I usually stick to the spoon. But everyone has their own technique so if you get a good smush with the fork go for it! Thanks for watching!

[@maryamjones749]

What is the name of seeds you used?

[@wendylincoln7760]

Perfect for beginners 👍🏼

[@scottallen8950]

Agreed....I'm definitely a beginner and it's surprisingly easy.

[@irmasoto9434]

Looks yummy ❤🥰 I am making it right now. Thank you! Very easy

[@scottallen8950]

Enjoy! Its still my favorite breakfast/lunch meal.

[@xyz5803]

I like to mix with the avocato: salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and a little of cumin. NOTHING ELSE. But I will try the seeds that he mention. Looks yummys

[@scottallen8950]

Agreed. Often I use your method....simple....just a little sea salt and lemon....but I sometimes add the seeds to mix it up....try some truffle oil for a unique taste. Or chili flakes for a little heat. Thanks for watching!!

[@debbieg8260]

whatever you make it will taste better because you are making it in NYC!!!!!!

[@scottallen8950]

Ha! Love your comment. But also because the BEST avocados are sold at the Amish Market at 45th and 2nd avenue. Even much better than Whole Foods.

[@FaerieFenergles]

Looks yummy! I like my avocado on toast with crushed garlic and Balsamic vinegar ... it tastes gorgeous.

[@scottallen8950]

Thanks! I like the crushed garlic idea. I'll try that too. I've been adding some white truffle oil and it adds a lovely flavor.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

Gorgeous??? Sounds like you are looking for a boyfriend instead a meal. Delicious is the word to use next time sweetheart.

Very good ! may be the best avocado toast in the US !😀

[@scottallen8950]

Rumor has it that it could be!

[@Nani-kf5fw]

That's literally just avocado on top of a bread

[@scottallen8950]

Yes, that's what avocado toast is...nothing too fancy and easy to make. But still delicious. And different from Guacamole. Give it a try.

You just made me want to make some and I have 2 lovely avocados that just turned just the right softness I like … can I use avocado oil

[@scottallen8950]

Hope you had a delicious meal! You can use avocado oil but it’s kind of tasteless. I use it for pan frying instead of seed oils like canola. The idea of some extra virgin olive oil is to add some extra flavor. And many claim that there are health benefits as well. Thanks for watching!

[@ankitrawat5784]

Delicious... I tried after just watching this video; thanks for sharing this wonderful and simple recipe ...

[@scottallen8950]

You're very welcome. Glad you like it!

[@RalphMacias-v6m]

Can’t tell what oil he used or what seeds he used. The links don’t work.

[@scottallen8950]

Hi Ralph...seems like that company went out of business. You can use any olive oil. The seeds are optional as well. I haven't used them in awhile. But sometimes I sprinkle them on. Lately I've been putting some chili oil or even some pesto sauce on top and it makes some really interesting combinations.

[@steelhurricane4041]

Thanks for this recipe. So, easy. 🙂

[@scottallen8950]

You're welcome! Just a little salt and lemon and you're all set. Good bread and ripe avocados help too. I make it almost every day if I have avocados at home.

[@tinasoblessed6350]

This look absolutely delicious! 👍🏼🤗

[@scottallen8950]

It is! Give it a try. I'm about to make it for breakfast this morning. Lately, I've also been adding some chili oil or white truffle oil on top for a variation and it's been so delicious.

[@fina_spt]

Wow, that's so yummy!!

Hope you give it a try! I make it almost every day for breakfast.

[@wmt4998]

Awesome recipe! My new favorite Avocado Toast - Thank you!

[@scottallen8950]

Awesome, glad you like it! I'm still making it like 3-4 times a week for breakfast. The other day I put some sauteed mushrooms on top (had them in the fridge) with some chili oil and it was pretty awesome.

[@dnix6302]

Looks delicious!

[@scottallen8950]

Thank you! It is!

[@nereidabermudez6637]

What kind of seeds

[@scottallen8950]

They're from a company called Vervana. And I have the link in the video description. However, this is just one way of making it. You can leave out the seeds and just use some fresh pepper, salt and lemon and it will be delicious. Or look through the comments here and suggestions from other folks. Some days I'll just splash a little of my favorite olive oil on top to finish it off and it's incredibly satisfying. Let me know how you end up preparing it. Thank you for watching!

[@tamargrayson8351]

[@scottallen8950]

@@HISIAM888RUHIS888 Sounds delicious! I'm in a small apartment so I couldn't grill but the lemon zest sounds nice. I'll give it a try! I usually also throw some red pepper on top but I've been experimenting with chili oil and white truffle oil depending on my mood.

Is when's machine used fork

[@tonywilson6386]

What arr the seads??

[@scottallen8950]

So the company went out of business. But you can use anything. Try Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel.....but any seed blend is great to sprinkle on top....

[@jafeder15]

But y'all never ever heard of Toasted Buffalo "Ive had avocado toast all over the world... and yours is the best." ~Pilot Ron Looks aight tho

[@scottallen8950]

Thanks . It's really basic and mostly is successful based on having perfectly ripe avocado and a loaf of hearty bread. I ran out of the bread so having it on an English muffin this morning. Still delicious.

[@SeaSea11]

Yummy

[@scottallen8950]

Thanks. I eat it almost every day with different variations.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

If you really want to kick it up a notch use some bacon bits. Beats the hell of of trying to find the seeds that he is using and taste so much better.

[@scottallen8950]

Great idea! btw, the seeds definitely optional and I listed the source in the video description. Thanks for watching!

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

@@scottallen8950 yours is the closest recipe that I was looking for. The sky is the limit with avocado toast. The bacon bits really do it for me. I have also used a horseradish spread on mine as well. Also I have sprinkled Parmesan grated cheese on mine. I am also looking to do avocado melt with shredded cheddar cheese melted on top but that would be more comfort food than a healthy breakfast. Try the horseradish spread with bacon bits on top. I think that you will like it. I really like the way that you prepare the avocados. That will be my way instead of slices.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

@@scottallen8950 also I am to try a few drops of Louisiana hot sauce.

[@scottallen8950]

@@JohnDavis-yz9nq Thanks John. All those sound delicious, especially the horseradish. I'll definitely give it a try. I actually learned how to "smush" up the avocado like that by going to a restaurant in NYC where they sell hundreds of avocado toasts a day at around $20 each. So I just learned to do it myself. I think the other thing is to get really good quality avocados which I'm sure are not available everywhere. I found a few shops that have them and the quality difference can be surprising. But really all you need is some lemon and salt and you're golden.

[@JohnDavis-yz9nq]

@@scottallen8950 the horseradish sauce is in a squeeze bottle. Use just a thin layer or it will overpower the toast. Just the right amount makes for a wonderful avocado toast. It was my idea. I have never seen this done before. I think that you would like the dried bacon bits also.

[@loadingmessages9075]

Can you use avocado oil?

[@scottallen8950]

Yes, you can, but there's no real taste to it so you're just adding calories Most people use avocado oil when using high heat because it doesn't break down as quickly. So if you're not heating it, some organic olive oil can add a delicious flavor.

[@ammararana]

I liked ur recipe and i don’t know why everyone’s being overly critical. Variety wise u can add tomatoes / egg/ sprouts but point to the fact that the best foods are the simplest. If I can make one suggestion (after watching Gordon ramsays version) and I normally never watched his recipes, to the suggestion of detail and taste you could state what bread u used (I’m sure sour dough vs something else would affect taste. As well as exact spice u used. Since vervana has more than blend. Which would impact ur taste and recipe. At the least as an example and can be altered based on one’s taste and ingredients that they already may have.

[@scottallen8950]

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. You're right that I didn't go into much detail mainly because it was just a video for a small group of people, not really intended for a general youtube audience. I think the most important concept is that you can make a great avocado toast with just some high-quality simple ingredients. I only use the seeds once in a while now and always experimenting with new toppings. Lately, I'm into chili or truffle oil. Adds a lovely taste.

[@ammararana]

I totally get what ur saying. I just like to know what ingredients or even products people use so I can find alternatives for them. Since we only can see via a video. Ex. Makeup tutorials even tho technique is the key that makes or breaks the artists application. But since we’re not in person- a list of products is also imperative so I can go in person check the products and see alternative options for either what I already have and what was the deal breaker in those ingredients that makes or breaks the look. ) so in terms of this just specifying what bread, what actual seeds - like vervana has a Mexican blend and Italian- that alone can mess up the taste If u don’t get the right one, or which ever u used, specificity of bread.. wheat vs sourdough etc.) maybe even quality of olive oil. Just those things that you used without knowing what exactly you used - someone using a recipe, can jeopardize the taste following vague instructions. Anyway ur version and Ramsay’s were very very the same which when he stated the ingredients made more sense as to like what seasonings u used.. and the way u cooked the bread as well. So that’s basically what I’m saying in terms of just listing what u use and then the way u make it. Anyway it was still amazing none the less. Ur obviously on to something great. So kind of understanding the ingredients helps a ton. Anyway can’t wait to make it myself and ofcourse yours looks great.

[@scottallen8950]

@@ammararana Absolutely, great comment and makes sense. The blend I use is the Italian blend. In terms of the bread, that's a tough one because I use a sourdough from a local bakery. and they vary. I'm constantly trying many different types of bread. The one suggestion I have is to find one that I would consider "hearty," so homemade at a bakery rather than mass-produced at the grocery store. Then I just slice it thinly and put it in the toaster. I think with avocado toast, the actual choice is not that important, it's sort of getting the whole concept with the avocado and making it chunky with lots of and a little bit of salt. I make it almost every day and many times I don't use seeds, or sometimes I'll just add some red pepper. And if I run out of bakery bread I'll use a piece of wheat bread from the grocery store and it'll be fine, not as delicious as artisan homemade bread but still satisfying. Finding a good consistent source of avocados seems to be the biggest challenge. I live in a large city so I have a lot of resources but in other places that avocados sometimes can be disappointing. When I travel I often have this challenge.

[@scottallen8950]

Also, a popular is to put a fried egg on top of the avocado.....I'm not an egg fan but if you are, give it a try.

[@tsigerdaberakey2381]

Nice 😍😍

[@jsherman1503]

Forget about finding what seeds are used. No one knows and no description.

[@scottallen8950]

So the seeds are from a company that went out of business. But you can use any seed blend like Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel. They just add a little seasoning and crunch.

[@scottallen8950]

So the company actually went out of business but it's just an Italian set of herbs, nothing too fancy. But you can use any seed blend. Or try Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel....

[@krispedersen2335]

What kind of "seeds" are you talking about? youre not clear on whats in the jar

[@scottallen8950]

Hi...the company who made the seeds seems to not be in business anymore. You can use almost any seed compilations, like Trader Joes Everything but the Bagel or any kind of herbs that you can sprinkle on the toast. But most of the time I don't even use anything except just a splash of some great olive oil and it's perfectly satisfying. Thanks for watching!

[@EvyJo2624]

what kind of seeds? Nothing remarkable

[@scottallen8950]

Yes, exactly. This is nothing remarkable. But I find it shocking that many places that serve avocado toast can't even prepare it like this. I was just on vacation and went to a few high-end places. One used a thick piece of bread and just a schmear of plain avocado, no salt, no lemon, not even some olive oil. I had to pay for extra avocado so the whole thing came out to like $15. I tried to show them my video but they didn't seem too interested. So yes, it's plain and simple. But that's better than what's out there. Btw, the seeds are from Vervana. The link for them is in the description. But just some salt and lemon are just fine. Thanks for watching and hope you're enjoying your weekend.

[@Pyrojams]

This looks absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to try it. Fantastic video quality as well. But… My guy…. When you went straight from oil to seeds with the same spoon, I strongly considered calling the police.

[@scottallen8950]

Ha! I'm writing from the local precinct. Apparently, it IS a crime to put an oily spoon in with the seeds. Who knew? Once I post bail I'll be sure to use a completely dry spoon. Thanks for the kind words and hope you were able to try this very simple recipe. It's really a great slightly chewy and crunchy bread and buttery smooth avocado that does all the heavy lifting.

[@1o-FoiL]

1 to 3 eh

[@scottallen8950]

Sorry you don't like it. Try adding some chopped tomatoes or onions on top. Or add an egg which is what a lot of people do. Also, make sure you have a hearty bread like sourdough. It makes a big difference. Thanks for watching.

So much technically for a simple bread with avocado 🥑 🤔

@Francesca. You are right, there's nothing really special about this and that is what makes it delicious. Too many times I'll go to a restaurant and they'll try and be impressive and give me toast with some mush on top....or they add all kinds of weird toppings to make it interesting. But my favorite version is this simple and dare I say boring version. Use good avocado, just a little salt and lemon, keep it a little chunky and that's it. So give it a try. It's quick!

[@scottallen8950]

@@Francesca_CactusBlossom You are certainly welcome to your opinion. But I do live in NYC. And I've ordered Avocado toast from at least 30 different restaurants, including a few that specialize in avocado foods. And honestly, I've been disappointed that so many of them try to put all kinds of elaborate toppings or add fancy things to this simple dish that end up ruining it. And then I went to a restaurant called The Smith and this is similar to how they serve it. By the way, they charge around $18 for this dish but they add some greens on top and an egg. And I honestly think this simple way of preparing it is in fact the best Avocado toast in NYC. Thank you to The Smith! If you live here and have some other suggestions I'll certainly go check them out. So I do not, in any way think I'm wasting anyone's time or misleading anyone. It's simply a matter of personal taste. Someone might think that the best avocado toast is really mushy, has lots of egg or chopped up vegetables and they are entitled to their opinion. I just want to assure you that I certainly know a lot about NYC and avocado toast. I honestly think this is the best and I've had MANY people agree. But what makes it the best is not just its simplicity, but also a good quality bread, a perfectly ripe avocado, and wonderful olive oil. Thank you for taking the time to comment and if you have a video that you think has a better version, please, please let me know. I'll certainly give it a try. I have this almost every morning for breakfast so I'd be glad to listen to your suggestions and try some new variations.
