Avocado toast was old news waaaaaay back in 2014.
And yet time marches on and avocado toast persists. There's a reason: It's wholesome and well-rounded and just so pleasant to look at. It's Ben Affleck if you ignore the high-profile relationships.
And while avocado toast has endured—your posts on our new app are proof positive—it's also evolved. Your (Not)Recipes show that avocado toast is going nowhere, fast, but they also reveal all sorts of smart ways to make it even better.

Here's how you're taking avocado toast to infinity and beyond:
Chili honey:
Sure, sure, avocado toast is overdone - but that doesn't make it any less delicious, or any less simple to whip up for breakfast. The best part of my favorite avocado toast is what's under the egg: a hefty drizzle of chili honey.
The chili honey is just a quick mix of red chili flakes and honey (who woulda guessed?). I like to make a bunch in advance and leave it in a small child container for convenience. Eaten with with avocado toast, it's a dream ?
