Herby Spice Blend Avocado or Hung Curd Toast Spread
Avocado or hung curd on toast is one thing — but without seasoning, it sits flat. Fold in a generous pinch of Herby Spice Blend and the spread comes alive: the dried basil and oregano bring herby warmth, the miriyalu adds a slow back-of-the-throat heat, and the garlic ties it all together into something that tastes deliberately made, not just assembled. This is the breakfast toast you will actually look forward to.
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 0 min | Serves: 2 | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 1.5 tsp Herby Spice Blend
- 1 ripe avocado — or 4 tbsp hung curd
- 2 slices bread, toasted (multigrain or sourdough)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- a pinch salt, to taste
- a few cherry tomatoes or cucumber slices, for topping (optional)
- a drizzle olive oil or ghee, to finish (optional)
Method
- If using avocado, scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until mostly smooth but still a little textured — not a paste. If using hung curd, spoon it straight into the bowl.
- Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt, then mix through. The base should smell fresh and slightly tangy at this point.
- Add the Herby Spice Blend and fold it in evenly. Taste — the spread should smell immediately more herby and rounded, with a gentle warmth from the miriyalu. Add a little more blend if you want it more pronounced.
- Toast your bread until golden and crisp. The crunch is important — a soft slice will turn soggy under the spread.
- Spoon the seasoned spread generously onto each slice and smooth it to the edges. Top with sliced cherry tomatoes or thin cucumber rounds if using, and finish with a light drizzle of olive oil or ghee.
- Eat immediately while the toast is still hot and the spread is cool — that contrast is the whole point.
