California's naturally sunny climate and fertile soil has allowed the state to become a distributor of a plethora of different types of produce from oranges to strawberries. However, there is one fruit that has risen to the top to reign supreme and become the base for one of California's most trendy and bourgeoisie dishes to hit menus, avocado toast. The open end sandwich has been around since the 1990s but has seen a surge in popularity over the past decade. While wildly simple to construct, it has become somewhat of a status symbol for its aesthetic and health benefits.
There are multiple ways to prepare or enhance avocado toast. The base of the highly-popularized sandwich features toasted bread, mashed avocados with salt and pepper, and citrus juice added for flavor. While other recipes include the likes of tomato, over-easy eggs, feta cheese, pico de gallo, bacon, and more to give the dish an added element of gusto.
