Recipe: Avocado Toast

Avocado toast seems to be all the rage lately and with good reason. Avocados are incredible!

I haven't actually tried the avocado toast at Cafe Gitane in New York but the recipe that I used is a recreated version of the restaurant's. I had it for breakfast with a side of scrambled eggs.
