How to Make It

Turning a simple breakfast into an exciting, starry adventure is incredibly easy with these delightful avocado toast stars. Start your morning by taking two slices of your favorite hearty, whole grain bread and toasting them until they are perfectly golden and wonderfully crispy. While the bread is toasting, take a beautifully ripe avocado, slice it open, and scoop the soft, green flesh into a small bowl. Add a bright, fresh squeeze of lemon juice, which not only adds a lovely zesty flavor but also magically keeps the avocado from turning brown. Sprinkle in a tiny pinch of salt and use a fork to mash everything together until it is gorgeously creamy and smooth. Once your toast pops up warm and ready, spread a generous, thick layer of the magical green avocado mash over the top of each slice. Now for the most exciting part! Take a star-shaped cookie cutter and firmly press it down into the center of your avocado-covered toast, cutting out perfect, starry shapes. You can leave the stars plain, or let your little ones decorate them with tiny cherry tomato 'jewels' or a sprinkle of 'fairy dust' sesame seeds. These charming little stars make eating a healthy, nutrient-packed breakfast an absolute joy, bringing a wonderful sense of playfulness to the start of their busy day.
