What You’ll Need
- 1 slice whole wheat bread, toasted
- ½ ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil – for richness and healthy fats
- ¼ tsp Nutritious Perilla Pearls – nutty, omega-rich seeds with a satisfying crunch

Directions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Toast a slice of whole grain or sourdough bread until golden and crisp to your liking.
Step 2: Mash the Avocado
While the bread is toasting, mash half a ripe avocado in a bowl using a fork. Keep it rustic or go creamy—it’s your call.
Step 3: Assemble Your Toast
Spread the mashed avocado onto the toasted bread. Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil.
Step 4: Season and Finish
Sprinkle with sea salt, a dash of Wild Long Pepper, and top it all off with a spoonful of Nutritious Perilla Pearls. Enjoy immediately while warm.
Optional Tip:
Top with sliced black olives and a handful of arugula for an herby, Mediterranean twist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are Perilla Pearls?
Perilla Pearls are nutrient-rich seeds from the perilla plant, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. They add a gentle crunch and nutty undertone to dishes.
Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes! Just substitute the whole wheat bread with any gluten-free bread you like. The flavor and nutritional benefits stay the same.
What does Wild Long Pepper taste like?
It’s more complex than black pepper—smoky, warm, and subtly sweet. Wild Long Pepper adds depth without overpowering the avocado.
Can I add protein to this toast?
Absolutely. A poached or boiled egg, a sprinkle of hemp seeds, or even a scoop of plain Greek yogurt on the side can make this toast a well-rounded, protein-rich breakfast.
Is this recipe suitable for kids?
Yes—but consider reducing the pepper for younger children, and perhaps mash the Perilla Pearls into the avocado if texture sensitivity is a concern.
