Brunch Culture
Avocado smash is a staple of brunch menus worldwide, reflecting the increasing popularity of this mealtime as a social and culinary experience.
Health and Wellness
The dish is often perceived as a healthy option due to the presence of avocados, which are rich in healthy fats and nutrients. The addition of other fresh ingredients further reinforces this perception.
Instagrammability
The visually appealing nature of avocado smash, with its vibrant colors and artful arrangement, makes it a popular subject for food photography and social media sharing.
This dish offers a complex interplay of creamy, earthy, tangy, and savory flavors, creating a balanced and satisfying experience.
The creamy avocado provides a rich, buttery base. Ricotta adds a subtle sweetness and smooth texture. Beetroot hummus contributes an earthy sweetness and vibrant color. Feta cheese provides a salty, tangy counterpoint. The soft-boiled egg introduces richness and further creaminess, while heirloom tomatoes offer a burst of fresh, acidic sweetness. Toasted multigrain bread provides a nutty, textured base for the other elements.
Avocado ripeness
Use perfectly ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. They should yield gently to pressure but not be mushy.
Egg perfection
Achieve the perfect soft-boiled egg by boiling for 6-7 minutes. The yolk should be runny but the white fully set.
Bread Selection
Choose a high-quality multigrain bread for optimal flavor and texture. Toasting it properly will add a satisfying crunch.
Seasoning
Don't be afraid to season generously! A pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes can enhance all the flavors.
Beetroot Hummus
You can add different flavored hummus for example, instead of beetroot it could be roasted red pepper or sweet potato hummus.
