Corn-Avocado Toast with a Twist

My love for avocados is immense! I can eat it all day everyday..:) I am amazed how versatile this fruit is! You can use it as spread as substitute for butter,  turn it into guacamole as dip, slice it into your salad, make parathas  out of it or simply eat it on its own.

Well my first encounter with avocados was not so delightful! I got them from the market with lot of excitement (all the excitement was only due to it being fancy exotic fruit that is shown on most of food shows). I got them really raw as I was having no clue about it and top of that I stored them into refrigerator and thus they never ripe:( I cut them raw after 1 week of wait and guess what all my excitement was suddenly disappeared! Vanished!

However experience makes you better isn't it? Now I know how to buy them and how to correctly store them in order to have it ready for a quick morning breakfast routine!

Here is one of our family favorite recipe I created specially for my Nephew and it turned out great! Do give it a try:)

You can definitely have this as evening snack or add it your elaborate Sunday Breakfast Menu:)

Notes

  1. Variety: Use freshly grated coconut instead of feta cheese, it will taste good equally. You can even use sprouts as your filling and top it finely chopped cilantro and nylon shev (Indian dry snack). Trust me it tastes divine.
  2. Storage:Make it and have it! No storage needed.
  3. Eat with: simply on its own or with some mint chutney.
