The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. A single ripe avocado, sliced and shaped into cheerful shamrocks, transforms an everyday breakfast staple into something truly memorable. The everything bagel seasoning — with its blend of sesame seeds, garlic, onion, and poppy seeds — adds a satisfying savory crunch that perfectly complements the buttery smoothness of the avocado. A squeeze of lemon keeps the vibrant green color bright and fresh, while a handful of chives or microgreens adds one final flourish of color. This is the kind of dish that looks impressive but asks very little of you in return.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Für ein besonders cremiges Ergebnis kannst du vor dem Belegen eine dünne Schicht Frischkäse auf die gerösteten Brotscheiben streichen — das verleiht dem Toast eine noch reichhaltigere Textur und einen mild-würzigen Geschmack, der wunderbar mit der Avocado harmoniert. Achte darauf, die Avocado erst kurz vor dem Servieren zuzubereiten und sofort mit Zitronensaft zu vermengen, damit die leuchtend grüne Farbe erhalten bleibt. Ein scharfes Messer oder ein Shamrock-Ausstecher sind entscheidend für saubere, ansehnliche Formen.
