Smashed avo on toast
Smashed avo on toast is a breakfast staple we keep on Scoops & Dishes because it rewards a clear metric method: grams and millilitres, Australian cups (250 ml), and steps you can follow without scrolling past a novel. As written it serves 2. Budget about 10 min to prep and 5 min to cook or bake, roughly 15 min all up, across 10 ingredients and 4 method steps. Key building blocks: avocado, Salt and black pepper and lemon. If you need a substitute, change one thing at a time and expect the texture notes below to matter more than the timer. Use it for weekday mornings, lazy weekends, and anything in between, then plate it hot with a coffee or tea on the side. Scale the batch up for guests or keep it to one pan for a quiet solo breakfast. Metric spoons here mean a 20 ml tablespoon and a 5 ml teaspoon. Everything on this page is metric-first for Australia. If you are converting from cups on an old card, weigh flour, sugar, and butter whenever the ingredient line shows grams.

Notes
- Method rhythm: step one is “Scoop avocado into a bowl; mash with a fork to a pasty but chunky texture. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to t…”. Do not skip resting, cooling, or draining steps if they appear later — they are usually there for texture. The finish is “Spread smashed avo on toast. Top with spinach, tomato and eggs. Drizzle oil. Serve with banana and mandarin on the side.”. Taste before you plate; salt at the end often needs a final pinch.
- Serving ideas without fluff: plate it hot with a coffee or tea on the side. Keep accompaniments simple so the dish stays the hero — a green salad, steamed veg, rice, mash, or crusty bread depending on the style. Metric measures stay consistent across Scoops & Dishes, so once you trust the cups and scales here, the rest of the site cooks the same way.
- From our tested tip, expanded: Ready in 15 minutes — classic Aussie café breakfast energy with eggs and greens. Treat that as the non-negotiable. If something still feels off — too wet, too pale, too tight — adjust one variable at a time (heat, liquid, or bake time) rather than changing three things at once.
- Putting it together for Smashed avo on toast: work clean, taste as you go, and do not rush browning or reduction steps if they appear in the method. If you are cooking for mixed diets, plate sauces and toppings separately where practical.

Metric consistency across Scoops & Dishes means once you trust the cups and scales here, breakfast through dessert behaves the same way.
