Spicy Avocado Toast

After ordering the most amazing dish at the Fox and Fig Cafe in Savannah, Georgia, called Tostadas Verde, a plate full of Auspicious Baking Company Country White Bread, toasted perfectly, covered with generous mountains of smashed avocado, flavored with salsa verde and topped with pickled onions and crunchy pepitas, I could not believe that I've never made myself avocado toast. I am now a huge fan of avocado toast and put together my own version of what I enjoyed so much in Savannah. Be sure to get ripe, but not over ripe avocados. If they are mushy, they are over ripe. They should yield only a little to a light press of your thumb. Avocados are best immediately after being opened, in my opinion. You can make this recipe with half an avocado, which I do, since it's only me eating it, but be sure to wrap the other half tightly with plastic wrap. The next day, gently scrape off any brown areas with a spoon and the avocado will be fine.
