Before giving her a thoughtful gift, start Mother’s Day off right by making Mum breakfast in bed.
You can never go wrong with avocado toast! This recipe is filling, nutritious and, most importantly, really easy to make.
How to check an avocado is ripe
The trick to good avo toast is a nice, ripe, avocado. Check their ripeness by picking off the stem (the little stub at the top) it should come away easily and reveal a dark green spot underneath. If the stem is hard to take off, or the avocado underneath isn’t a bright green colour, they’re not ready yet.
Hot to quickly ripen an avocado
Don’t worry if you find yourself with an unripe avocado on Mother’s Day! You can easily ripen an unpeeled avocado by wrapping it in tin foil and popping it in the oven at 90˚ C for ten to fifteen minutes. After your avo has softened, unwrap it and leave it in the fridge for a few minutes to cool down.

- Half an avocado
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 slices of bread

Method
