Infatuated: Avocado Toast

When my pals at Immaculate Infatuation asked me to kick off their new “Infatuated” series I was stoked — not just to officially test avocado toast all over the city, but also to spread the avocado toast love to all of their readers. I found some delicious versions, so check ’em out and let me know what you think. Did I leave your favorite out? I wanna know so I can go try.

And if you’d rather make your own at home, you can make this super simple recipe or this slightly heartier one with an egg on top.

I made it for myself this morning on a scooped out toasted bagel — the perfect way to kick off my wedding weekend. That’s right, B and I are getting married tomorrow!

See ya’ll soon,

Soon-to-be Mrs. Jamie Stelter

girl crush, reaffirmed.

Ruth Reichl eats/loves avocado toast! My favorite.

Radiant morning. Strong coffee. Stewart avocados, soft, ripe, sensual, on toast. Scattering of salt. Two tiny kishus. Heading to SF.

episode 9: post-workout avocado toast with @brooke

It’s time for episode 9 of TV Dinner on ulive and I saved the best for last. (Last one just for now, not to worry.) My friend Brooke Hammerling came over and I made my favorite post-workout meal: avocado toast with an egg on top.

Brooke runs Brew PR, a firm she founded to provide media relations to cool tech companies. Among other things, she’s also a big supporter of charity: water. I don’t need to tell you that she, just like the rest of us, is busy. It’s hard enough to find the time to workout; who wants to come home and start slaving over the stove after? Not me. Not Brooke. And I’m guessing not you, either.

Avocado toast with an egg on top is not only the fastest, easiest meal to make, but it packs the necessary 1-2 protein-carb punch that your body needs post-workout. Win – Win. Time to get familiar with it.

And like I said, this is the last episode of TV Dinner — for now — but I have a Valentine’s Day special coming in a few months. And until then, you can catch up on the other 8 episodes and recipes. Be sure to let me know if you make any of them and how they turn out.

Hope you had as much fun watching as I did makin ’em!

avocado toast

It seems like avocado toast is everywhere these days, and with good reason: it’s delicious and good for you! Even my friend Rina sold out the very kale salad that made her TV Dinner famous when she instagrammed this photo the other day exclaiming “avocado toast is the new kale salad.” I don’t disagree, but it still feels a bit harsh. And not all avocado toast is created equal. Just look at my homemade version above, in all her ready-to-devour glory.

Compare that with Tipsy Parson‘s version — served with tomato jam on the bottom, and a fried egg and sprouts on top — which I highly recommend.

Then there’s the makeshift version, that I made on whole wheat everything flagels (flat bagels) for my Mom and little brother when we were home in Philly last weekend.

Put whatever you want on it, and serve it atop whatever kind of bread you like. But whatever you do, make it soon for breakfast, lunch or dinner — it’s delicious at any time of day. Then send me your photos! I’m always looking for new ways to update my recipe. Or if you’re not so savvy in the kitchen but still want to try, my favorite restaurant version in New York City is at Cafe Gitane.
