Fiery Avocado Toast with The Spice Drops

An elevated classic with a subtle kick of clean, concentrated heat.

Avocado toast. It’s the brunch staple, the Instagram darling, the millennial muse. But let’s be honest—sometimes, it needs a little... spark. Not another squeeze of lemon. Not another pinch of chili flakes that you can barely taste. We’re talking real heat. The kind that makes your lips tingle and your eggs taste bolder without hijacking the dish’s natural flavor.

That’s where The Spice Drops comes in.

Unlike traditional hot sauces or garlic-heavy chili oils, The Spice Drops delivers pure, unflavored heat. No garlic, no vinegar, no tang. Just drops of intensity you can dial up or down depending on your mood. For a dish as clean and minimal as avocado toast, that means you finally get to have your heat—and taste your food too.

Let’s dive into the layers of why this combo works, how to nail it at home, and how to make your breakfast ritual a little more powerful, one drop at a time.

Why It Works

The magic of avocado toast lies in contrast. Creamy avocado, crispy bread, maybe a soft or jammy egg, and a dash of brightness from lemon or herbs. It’s balanced. But often, when people try to add heat to the equation, they throw off the harmony. Hot sauces bring too much vinegar. Chili oils bring garlic, crunch, and an entirely new flavor profile.

The Spice Drops doesn’t do any of that. You can add 1–2 drops for a light sizzle or 5+ for a serious mouth-tingler—all without muddying the flavors you worked so hard to layer in. Whether you're using sourdough or multigrain, poached egg or none, this is the easiest way to spice up your favorite toast.

Let’s Talk Avocados

Before we get to the recipe, a few quick tips:

  • Ripeness matters: You want an avocado that yields gently to pressure—too firm and it won’t spread, too soft and you’ve got guac.

  • Texture choice: You can slice, mash, or whip with lemon and salt. We recommend lightly mashing with a fork so you keep some texture.

  • Toppings are key: Microgreens, chili flakes, feta, tomatoes, or pickled onions can all play nice—but don’t overdo it.

The Recipe: Fiery Avocado Toast with The Spice Drops

Servings: 2
Prep Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of crusty bread (sourdough or multigrain work best)

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • Juice of ¼ lemon

  • Sea salt, to taste

  • Cracked black pepper, to taste

  • 2–5 drops of The Spice Drops (adjust to heat preference)

  • Optional: poached or soft-boiled egg, crumbled feta, microgreens, or cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Toast your bread.
     Golden brown is the goal. Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. No toaster? A pan or grill works great too.

  2. Prep the avocado.
     Cut in half, remove the pit, scoop into a bowl, and mash with a fork. Add lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt. Don’t overmash—you want it a bit chunky.

  3. Assemble the base.
     Spread the avocado onto each slice of toast. Keep it rustic. This isn’t avocado mousse.

  4. Add The Spice Drops.
     Start with 1–2 drops per slice for a gentle burn. Drizzle directly on top or stir into the mashed avo for more even heat. Want to sweat a little? Try 5–7 drops.

  5. Top it off.
     Add your favorite toppings—poached egg, feta crumbles, microgreens, or sliced cherry tomatoes. Finish with a twist of black pepper.

  6. Serve immediately.
    Toast waits for no one.

Customization Ideas

  • For Brunch Guests: Serve with mimosas and a DIY topping bar.

  • For Meal Prep: Store mashed avocado with lemon in the fridge for 1–2 days. Toast and top fresh daily.

  • For More Protein: Add smoked salmon, hummus, or an egg.

Why The Spice Drops Makes It Better

This isn’t just another chili oil moment. The Spice Drops brings versatility to your table:

  • You control the heat without overpowering your ingredients.

  • One tiny bottle lasts a long time, thanks to its concentrated nature.

  • It’s clean, simple, and perfect for dishes where flavor clarity matters.

Final Thoughts

Avocado toast will never go out of style. But that doesn’t mean it has to stay basic. Add a little heat—your way, your amount—with The Spice Drops. It's not just breakfast anymore. It’s a statement.
