Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 slices bread for toasting
Decorations
- 1 sheet nori (seaweed used for making sushi)
- 1 pitted black olive (can also use pre-sliced, optional for eyes)
Avocado Spread
- ½ medium avocado or more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Juice from about 1-2 wedges of lemon or lime
Instructions
- Prepare Nori Shapes: Place your sheet of nori on a cutting board. Flip your bread to find the flat side that will be the top of Frankenstein’s head, then mark the nori to match. Cut the nori into shapes for hair (flat top with triangular bottoms matching bread length), mouth (long thin strip with shorter crosshatch strips), nose (triangle or flat line), and eyes (triangle shapes if not using olives).
- Toast Bread: Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Prepare Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with salt and lemon or lime juice to taste until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Position the toast with the flat side on top to represent Frankenstein’s head. Arrange the cut nori shapes on the toast to form the hair, eyes, nose, and mouth. If using black olive slices for eyes, cut them into hollow rounds and place on the avocado accordingly.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of avocado based on your preference for creaminess.
- Use lime or lemon juice to prevent the avocado from browning and to add brightness.
- Cut the nori carefully for intricate designs to make the face more expressive.
- Black olives are optional but add a fun dimension to the eyes.
- This recipe is best served immediately after assembly to keep the toast crisp.
