Forget what you’ve been told — avocado toast is a girl’s best friend. Need a filling breakfast? Avocado toast. Something healthy to hold you over between lunch and dinner? Avocado toast. Small dinner when you’re feeling especially lazy?

(wait for it…)

Avocado toast.

From a nutritional standpoint, it’s great for any of those situations. As long as you’re using a nutrient-dense bread, you’ll get a healthy dose of fiber and healthy fats that will keep you full. Toast + avocado = great.

To add some magic (with very little effort), try this topping combo: feta cheese, raw honey, and lime juice. This little combination has everything your mouth wants: The feta is tangy, the honey is sweet, the lime juice is zesty… If you aren’t salivating at the thought of that, you might want to get your mouth checked.

To make this a more substantial meal, just throw a fried egg on top for some protein.

YOU’LL NEED

Toaster/toaster oven

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Toast the bread to your desired level of toastiness.
2. Cut your avocado in half, removing the seed with a knife.

4. Use a fork to spread the avocado around.
5. Sprinkle some feta on top of each toast, then drizzle honey all over it.
6. Squeeze lime juice on top of each toast.
