everything looks perfect from far away

I cook frequently. Sometimes it’s complicated (like Pad Thai). Other times, it’s really simply stuff. I like snacks. Potato chips get me every time, such as Spicy Thai or 365 barbecue kettle chips (plug: available at Whole Foods). I was up in Philly earlier in the year and my sister made me this awesome snack.

It’s avocado and cheese on toast. Surprisingly good. First, heat a skillet to med-low. Then drizzle a little bit of extra-virgin olive oil on the bread and cook it (oil side down) on the skillet until it’s slightly toasted (a touch of golden brown where the oil is on the bread).

While that’s going on, slice an avocado in half and remove wedges from half of the avocado. Save the other half for something else.

Remove the bread from the skillet and lay the wedges of avocado on the bread. Then sprinkle the bread with shredded cheese. I prefer the four-cheese mexican variety. Then pop it in to a toaster oven for a couple minutes to finish toasting the bread and melt the cheese.

Voila! A very tasty snack.
