Avocado Toast
My daughter Sara and fellow foodie visited recently and asked if I had tried Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend yet. When I told her I hadn’t, she waxed poetic about how good the seasoning was—especially on avocado toast. Her review was good enough for me, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a jar of the seasoning.
There is only one Trader Joe on Cape Cod, and I wasn’t in the mood to fight tourist season traffic to go there. After a quick check on amazon, I scored a jar faster than you can say Prime shipping. Avocado toast, here I come!
So far, I’ve had it only on my avocado toast—and it is fabulous! I love having the toast with scrambled eggs which makes for a very yummy breakfast. Another obvious use would be to sprinkle it over cream cheese on a plain bagel. I can imagine a lot of other foods that would be elevated by a sprinkle or two of this seasoning—salad, chicken, etc. A little goes a long way as there is a liberal amount of salt in the mix.
In case any of you are wondering, this is not a paid endorsement! I am just a foodie who likes to share recipes and pass along news of food products that I think are frantastic.
So, you’re getting a recipe that really isn’t much of a recipe at all—to me, it’s sort of like telling someone how to make a toasted peanut butter sandwich. Duh! In any event, next time you go to Trader Joe’s, pick up a jar of this tasty seasoning blend. On the way home, pick up a loaf of bread, a ripe avocado, and a ripe tomato. You won’t be sorry you did.
