Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and brush sourdough bread with olive oil.
- Once oven is heated, toast bread until crunchy, about 15 minutes.
- While bread is still warm, rub 1 garlic clove on each toasted bread and let cool.
- Once cool, add toasted bread to a food processor or smash in a plastic bag with a rolling pin, to create breadcrumbs. Set aside until ready to assemble.
- Season each avocado half with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Divide the Egg Salad equally between each avocado half, filling them where the seed was.
- Top the stuffed avocados by sprinkling with breadcrumbs, chopped pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, and finish with edible wildflowers.
Serving Suggestion: Before serving, add a final squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the recipe.
Beverage Pairing: To contrast the creamy texture, enjoy this recipe with a glass of freshly squeeze fruit juice.
Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
