Crab Avocado Toasts

Mmmmmm…avocado toasts… the insanely popular (quite delicious) and social media clogging  breakfast bet. You can see why this dish is so well liked, it’s easy (if you can make toast, you’re halfway there) and quick (if you’re anything like me and leave breakfast till…the…very…last…minute).

We’re going to elevate this recipe just a little bit, and by no means does elevating mean harder or longer, we’re elevating with the addition of crab. Crab is a perfect ingredient for this combination, you’re upgrading the all-ready-nutrition-packed breakfast with the addition of lean protein plus you’re boosting the flavor.

Below you’ll find my ‘classic’ avocado toast recipe (with the addition of Cameron’s Seafood Jumbo Lump Crab Meat) along with some tips and other variations to keep your palate pleased.

Recipe Notes

Tips:

-Feel free to top your toast with an egg for double the protein. Personally, I like a soft boiled egg but a hard boiled or fried egg is perfect

-If you’re a fan of spice, douse or lightly drizzle in your favorite hot sauce. I like to use a smoky chipotle hot sauce.

-Pack each ingredient separately if you’re brown bagging it. This way everything stays fresh and nothing gets soggy.
