INGREDIENTS

FOR THE AVOCADO CREAM
1 ripe avocado
A squeeze of lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: 1 tbsp cream cheese or a little crushed garlic, for extra flavor
FOR THE BASE
1 slice of bread, toasted
FOR DECORATION
A few small cucumber pieces, for the spikes
A few small cheese cubes (or mini mozzarella balls), for the feet

PREPARATION

  1. Halve the avocado, remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it smooth with a fork, or leave it slightly chunky if you prefer.
  2. Add a little lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. For extra flavor, stir in a spoonful of cream cheese or a little crushed garlic.
  3. Toast the bread until golden, then let it cool briefly.
  4. Spoon the avocado cream onto the toast as an oval mound, leaving a little toast visible around the edge — this becomes the dino body.
  5. Cut a few small triangular pieces from the cucumber and place them in a row along the top of the avocado mound — these are the spikes on the dino’s back.
  6. Cut a few small cheese cubes, or use mini mozzarella balls, and tuck them under the front and back of the mound as little feet.
  7. FOODMONSTA STEP: Press the FOODMONSTAS WAFER EYES onto the front of the avocado mound — use one 22 mm eye and one 15 mm eye for a funny, lopsided look.
  8. Serve immediately while everything is fresh, green and crunchy.
Tip: The avocado cream tastes best when freshly made, as it browns quickly. You can eat the toast just as it is, or turn it into a little spreading station: spread the avocado cream onto crackers or small bread pieces instead of serving it from a bowl.
