The 3-Ingredient Combo That Packs A Punch In Gordon Ramsay's Avocado Toast

How to make avocado toast, Gordon Ramsay-style

Forget about complicated gadgets and intricate cooking methods; this delicious topping — showcased by Gordon Ramsay on his official Facebook page — is as simple as gathering three key ingredients: a sprinkle of black sesame seeds, a dash of chile flakes (he admits, "I quite like it hot"), lemon zest, and a touch of salt and pepper. Just mix them together in a small bowl and generously sprinkle the mixture over slices of toast topped with perfectly ripe avocado. "You get the aroma from the lemon zest, the crunch from the sesame seeds, and the kick from the chile flakes, which really brings the avocado to life," he explains. "For me, that's a delightful, light way to start the day."

Not only does this combination taste amazing, but it also adds a touch of elegance to the dish, as Ramsay notes — making it an ideal snack for impressing guests. And if you find yourself missing some ingredients, don’t worry; you can substitute with white sesame seeds (though they’re less crunchy and have a sweeter, nuttier flavor) or some dried chile powder. Just remember to use the latter sparingly — you wouldn’t want to spoil what is arguably the most Instagrammed dish in the world. Any leftovers can be saved to enhance guacamole, as lemon and chile pepper are staples in Mexican cuisine.
