Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe avocados
- 2 pasture-raised eggs
- 1 generous cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano (coarse side of the grater)
- A pinch of onion powder
- A pinch of garlic powder
- A pinch of black pepper
Topping
- Sesame seeds (amount as desired)
- Poppy seeds (amount as desired)
- Hemp seeds (amount as desired)
- Sea salt flakes (amount as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Mixture: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe avocados thoroughly with a fork. Add the pasture-raised eggs, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and the pinches of onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients until you achieve a cohesive, smooth paste.
- Form Patties: Scoop the avocado mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form 6 to 8 patties. Use about ¼ cup for smaller 3.5-inch rounds or ⅓ cup for larger 4-inch rounds. Flatten each patty with a spoon or spatula, or use a cookie cutter for uniform shapes.
- Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle the seed mixture of sesame, poppy, hemp seeds, and sea salt flakes over each patty to add flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the tops are golden, slightly puffed, and small Parmigiano bubbles form on the surface indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and transfer the patties to a wire rack to cool completely, which helps them firm up and improves texture before serving.
- Store: Store leftover bread thins in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- The size of the bread thins can be adjusted depending on preference; smaller patties yield more pieces, while larger ones make fewer but more substantial servings.
- Use ripe avocados for best texture and flavor; overripe avocados may result in a mushy consistency.
- The cheese can be substituted with other hard cheeses, but Parmigiano Reggiano provides a distinctive flavor and browning.
- The seed topping adds crunchy texture and enhances flavor but can be adjusted or omitted if preferred.
- Ensure bread thins are cooled completely before storing or serving to prevent sogginess.
- This recipe is perfect for keto and low-carb diets, offering a nutrient-dense bread alternative.
