Description

This Cream Cheese and Avocado Toast with Hot Honey is a deliciously simple and flavorful breakfast or snack option. Sourdough bread is toasted to perfection in butter, then layered with creamy cream cheese and mashed avocado. A pinch of salt and red pepper flakes add a hint of seasoning and spice, while a drizzle of sweet and spicy Mike’s Hot Honey provides an irresistible finishing touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Butter

  • 1 slice sourdough bread (or any bread of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Spreads and Toppings

  • 1.5 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1/2 avocado
  • Pinch of salt
  • Dash of red pepper flakes
  • Approximately 1 tablespoon Mike’s Hot Honey

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, place the slice of bread in the skillet and toast it on both sides until golden brown and crispy. This ensures a buttery and flavorful base for your toast.
  2. Spread Cream Cheese: Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and immediately spread 1.5 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over the warm slice. The heat will slightly soften the cream cheese for easy spreading.
  3. Mash and Add Avocado: Scoop the avocado half onto the cream cheese layer, and use a fork to mash it up directly on the toast, creating a creamy, slightly chunky texture that pairs well with the smooth cream cheese.
  4. Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of red pepper flakes over the mashed avocado to enhance the flavors with a bit of savory seasoning and a mild kick.
  5. Drizzle Hot Honey: Finish by drizzling approximately 1 tablespoon of Mike’s Hot Honey over the top of the toast, adding a harmonious sweet and spicy contrast to the creamy and buttery ingredients.

Notes

  • You can use any bread you prefer such as whole wheat, multigrain, or gluten-free bread.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey based on your heat and sweetness preference.
  • If you don’t have Mike’s Hot Honey, a drizzle of honey mixed with a pinch of cayenne pepper can be a good substitute.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use vegan cream cheese.
  • Red pepper flakes can be omitted if you prefer less spice.
