Preparation by Malvika
Pure Perilla Avocado Toast

Avocado Toast, Reimagined with Spice

Simple, satisfying, and endlessly adaptable, avocado toast is a breakfast classic for good reason. This version takes it up a notch with the nutty crunch of Pure Perilla Pearls and a warming dash of Warm Wild Long Pepper.

Whether you're easing into your day or looking for a light afternoon bite, it's quick, flavorful, and elegant.

What You'll Need

  • 1 slice whole wheat bread, toasted
  • ½ ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp Pure Perilla Pearls (nutty seeds with a satisfying crunch)
  • Warm Wild Long Pepper to taste (warm, peppery, and subtly sweet)
  • Salt to taste

Optional add-ons: black olives, fresh arugula, or a poached egg.

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.

Step 3: Assemble Your Toast
Spread the mashed avocado onto the toasted bread. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Step 4: Season and Finish
Sprinkle with sea salt and a dash of Warm Wild Long Pepper, then top with a spoonful of Pure Perilla Pearls. Enjoy immediately while warm.

Optional tip: Top with sliced black olives and a handful of arugula for an herby, Mediterranean twist.

Why This Toast Works

  • Creamy avocado and fruity olive oil make a rich base
  • Pure Perilla Pearls add a delicate, nutty crunch
  • Warm Wild Long Pepper adds depth with a warm, floral heat
  • Whole wheat bread makes it hearty and satisfying

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Perilla Pearls?
Perilla Pearls are the seeds of the perilla plant. They add a gentle crunch and nutty, slightly minty undertone to dishes.

Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes. Just substitute the whole wheat bread with any gluten-free bread you like.

What does Wild Long Pepper taste like?
It's more complex than black pepper: warm, floral, and subtly sweet. It 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 a scoop of plain Greek yogurt on the side all work well.

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 is a concern.
