Save Money with Homemade Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is a popular brunch food nowadays. I’m actually one of its loyal victims. Every time I have brunch, this is my favorite meal. So, I’m wondering why I’m not making it at home. It is actually pretty easy to make and cheaper than if you get it from a restaurant. I’m usually paying 15-20€ for each avocado toast I’ve ordered. And if I make them at home, I can eat them 3-4 times with the same amount of money…

Here’s the typically avocado toast I had at the restaurant. They used whole grain bread, mashed avocado, a slice of salmon, a poached egg or soft-boiled egg, and served it with some salad.

So let’s motivate ourselves to save some money and make our homemade avocado toast.
