Directions
Toast your bread until it’s nice and crispy. While it’s still warm, spread a little butter over the toast. Next, mash up some ripe avocado and spread it evenly on top. Arrange the asparagus spears across the avocado, switching the direction of each one for a fun pattern. Crumble some blue cheese over everything, then finish with a light drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
Best Serving Ideas
Serve this on a bright, sunny morning with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. It also pairs nicely with a poached egg on top for extra protein. A drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze can enhance the flavors if you like a touch of sweetness.
How To Save Leftovers
For best results, prepare just before serving to keep the avocado from browning and the toast crisp. If you need to store leftovers, keep the avocado mixture separate in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon juice to slow oxidation. Store asparagus wrapped in a damp paper towel inside the fridge for up to two days.
