Avocado toast is a beloved breakfast staple in modern culture. In the 1990s, an Australian restaurateur, Chef Bill Granger, really popularised avocado toast, turning it into a cafe favourite. Since then, it has taken the world by storm, especially among health-conscious food lovers. This recipe is not only easy to whip up but also packed with healthy fats, fibre, and essential nutrients. When you pair it with hearty whole-grain bread, you’ve got a nutritious and satisfying meal to kick off your day.
