Story Behind Loaded Avocado Toast

When my husband was in business school, I met some of the most wonderful people. I became really close with four women in particular, and we still stay in touch today. Every year (sometimes twice), we plan a girls trip. Since we still all have really young children, these trips usually are quick, local, and filled with yummy food.

One particular trip, we stayed at the Grand America hotel in Salt Lake City. It wound up being a weird weekend when we realized that it was the same weekend as Fan X during Comic Con. I’m not even sure if that is the correct way to even say the event.

As we sat on the couch in the hotel lobby that night, we had the privilege of meeting several celebrities. I’m sure we looked out of place. We were sitting on the lobby couch in pajamas. One of my friends had a 5-week-old baby that caught everyone’s attention. The next morning we walked down to the dining room in hopes for a great meal and more celebrity watching. We stuffed ourselves with a delicious breakfast. Funny enough, the actor who played Flash Gordon took a liking to us during breakfast. So much so, that he gifted us tickets to Comic Con to come watch his question and answer session.

Story Continued…

Our Comic Con experience was bizarre, and we still talk about it today. Besides meeting celebrities from various shows and movies, we had the BEST loaded avocado toast that morning in the hotel.

It was so delicious that for a few months after, all of my girlfriends and I took turns recreating it at home and sending each other pictures of it. It is hands down one of my favorite savory breakfasts and makes an appearance whenever we get together.

Don’t be fooled by the tomatoes and orange together. I promise it works! This is a great dish to serve at any brunch or breakfast you are throwing and will be sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Ingredients Needed for Loaded Avocado French Toast

• Bread- you want to use a good, light and airy bread. Don’t use sandwich bread or super dense bread.
• Oranges- we love to use Cara Cara oranges, but navel oranges work well too.
• Tomatoes- go for the good ole garden tomato. You don’t want to use a roma or cherry tomatoes here.
• Pumpkin Seeds- you may think you you can leave these off, but it adds such a great crunch. Definitely look for them in your grocery store or order some from here.
• Parmigiano Romano Cheese- this can be pre-grated or shredded. Whichever one you prefer or find first will work.
