I prepared this Avocado Toast with chickpeas and eggs because a friend of mine shared a picture of a similar dish she bought in Corsicana, Texas, and I was inspired to make my own version. I really enjoy this kind of toast! It has a tangy flavor from the lemon juice and a creamy texture from the avocado. It’s absolutely delicious and very satisfying. Although I’ve been making avocado toast for a while, I’ve never tried it with chickpeas before.

- lemon
- salt and pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
- garlic clove
- chickpea

I seasoned the chickpeas with spicy smoked paprika and cooked them in a hot skillet until toasted. I really enjoy chickpeas prepared this way, and they also serve as a delicious snack. If you haven’t tasted toasted chickpeas, especially cooked in a skillet, you should definitely try them as they offer great health benefits.
I served this on a white with a gray tint plate which I love. I don’t use a lot of colored dishes unless I find one I really like. I love these. https://amzn.to/45A5A2A
My go to plates lately are gray and white and we actually love to eat in bowls!

To prepare this tasty breakfast dish, begin by making the avocado spread using one avocado. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the spread and season with salt and pepper. Utilize fresh sourdough bread, preferably from the deli, as it toasts up nicely and turns crispy. Toast two slices of the sourdough bread, then drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil and rub them with a clove of garlic. Next, spread the avocado mixture onto the bread, followed by topping it with fried chickpeas and hard-boiled eggs. For an extra touch, add some homemade fresh basil oil. Enjoy the deliciousness!
Finally I added freshly ground black pepper and a finishing flaky salt which I love!!! If you aren’t using a flaky salt to finish your dishes, you should! This is what I used https://amzn.to/2P19bjG
