Equipment
- 1 Toaster or Toaster Oven – to toast the bread
- 1 Cutting Board – for preparing the avocado and toppings
- 1 Knife – to slice the avocado, cheese, and toppings
- 1 Spoon or Fork – to scoop and mash the avocado
- 1 Small Bowl – for mashing and mixing the avocado
- 1 Butter Knife or Spatula – to spread the avocado on the toas
- 1 Optional: Piping Bag or Plastic Bag (if you want to neatly pipe the avocado onto the toast for a smooth, even layer)
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe avocado: mashed Tip: Choose a perfectly ripe avocado for the creamiest texture.
- 2 Slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1-2 Slices of mozzarella cheese or vegan cheese: cut into thin strips
- 2 Cherry tomatoes or 1 grape tomato: sliced into small rounds
- 2 Black olive slices for eyes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, drizzle of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds
- Variation Tip: Feel free to use gluten-free bread or a different cheese option for dietary preferences.
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado SpreadCut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash until smooth, then add salt and pepper to taste. For an extra kick, sprinkle in red pepper flakes or a touch of lemon juice for added flavor and a bit of freshness.
- Toast the BreadWhile preparing the avocado, toast your bread slices until they are golden and crispy. The crunchier the toast, the better it will hold the toppings and prevent sogginess from the avocado.
- Spread the AvocadoGenerously spread the mashed avocado over each slice of toast, creating an even layer.
- Create the Mummy WrapsPlace thin strips of mozzarella or vegan cheese across the avocado toast in a crisscross pattern, mimicking mummy wraps. Don’t worry if the strips overlap or look uneven; the more random, the spookier!
- Add the EyesPlace two cherry tomato rounds on each slice to create the "eyes," then top each with a slice of black olive for the pupils. Adjust the position to give your mummy toast a unique, slightly eerie expression.
- Finishing TouchesSprinkle a pinch of salt or pepper, and add any optional toppings, like pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of hot sauce, for a little Halloween flavor twist.
Notes
Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
Want to make your Halloween morning as easy as possible? Here are a few tips to help you prep this Mummy Wrapped Avocado Toast ahead of time and keep it fresh:- Prepare the Avocado Spread: You can make the mashed avocado spread up to a day in advance. To keep it green and fresh, add a bit of lemon or lime juice and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado to minimize browning.
- Toast the Bread in Advance: For busy mornings, lightly toast your bread the night before, letting it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. Just pop it back in the toaster for a quick reheat and extra crispiness.
- Cut Toppings Ahead of Time: Slice the cheese, tomatoes, and olives in advance and store them separately in airtight containers. This will make it easy to assemble the mummy faces without any extra chopping on Halloween morning!
- Assemble Just Before Serving: For the best texture, wait until you’re ready to serve before spreading the avocado and adding the toppings. This will keep the toast crunchy and the mummy decorations fresh and fun!
