00:00Avocados are dense. A very dense, delicious fruit. And yes, they're a fruit.
00:10I'm Rosanna Pansino and today we're taking our childhood favorites and elevating them.
00:15I love avocado toast. My mom used to make them for me growing up and it's something I continued to
00:21love throughout my life.
00:22I even have my own avocado tree in my backyard. I've named him Herbert.
00:30Well now, I'm gonna show you how to make a fancy version, avocado rose toast.
00:41To make our avocado rose toast, the first thing that we're gonna do is make some toast.
00:46The bread that I am using today is brioche. It's a French bread and it is delicious.
00:51Using a large serrated knife, cut a slice that's about an inch thick.
00:57I don't like the end pieces, so I'm just gonna skip that and give it to somebody else.
01:04Alright, we're gonna pop this in the toaster. I'm gonna put it on a medium heat to cook.
01:09While it's toasting, I'm gonna start preparing our avocado.
01:14Mmmmm. Using a large sharp knife, we're gonna cut it open.
01:17What I like to do is I just press the knife in until I feel the pit and then I
01:22spin it around.
01:24Wheeeee!
01:25Just like that. Give it a twist. Pop it open.
01:28Okay, then I'm gonna flip it over and peel off the avocado skin.
01:33Oh, pretty! Look at that!
01:35We want our rose to look very beautiful, so if you have any imperfections or dents that occurred while you
01:41were taking off the skin,
01:42you can just use your finger and just smooth it over.
01:45Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Just like that.
01:47Using the sharp cutting knife, cut thin slices.
01:52Now this is where you wanna take your time, don't rush.
01:55The thinner you can get them, the better, the more it's gonna fold into a flower shape easier.
02:02Mistakes are delicious.
02:04No one will miss it. No one will know.
02:12Once the avocado is sliced, fan out the slices.
02:17Just start pinching them to line up.
02:20There's no perfect way to do this.
02:22It might take a little bit of practice.
02:24And you wanna fan them out.
02:25You wanna see each slice.
02:27And as you can see, it gets pretty long.
02:30Look at all these slices.
02:34Now we're gonna shape this fan of avocado slices into a rose.
02:39Tuck them in.
02:39Look at this.
02:40You just curve.
02:41Curve, curve, curve.
02:42Come together.
02:44Okay, here we go.
02:45We're coming on this side now.
02:46Here we go.
02:47Here we go.
02:48Stay together.
02:49Be a rose.
02:50Round and round and round.
02:51Yeah.
02:53If it doesn't look perfect, don't worry about it.
02:55This is already super fancy and luxe looking.
02:58And you know what?
02:59Every flower looks different.
03:02So if your flower's a little lopsided like mine, there's nothing wrong with it.
03:06It's still lovely.
03:10Alright, let's check on our toast.
03:12We wanted it a little bit extra toasty.
03:14This looks perfect.
03:15Now we're gonna transfer our beautiful avocado rose on top of the toast.
03:20Using a spatula.
03:22Just be careful and confident.
03:24This is where I'm channeling my inner Julia Child.
03:27So here we go.
03:28She's my inspiration.
03:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:32Let's go, go, go, go.
03:34Boom!
03:35Thank you, Julia Child.
03:37This part is totally optional.
03:39It already looks gorgeous.
03:40I'm just gonna put a little pressure on the top to make it look more bloomed.
03:47Going to toppings and decoration.
03:49We're gonna start with lemon.
03:51We want a little bit of fresh lemon juice right on top of our avocado.
03:54This is a pro tip if you want your avocado to remain looking fresh and not oxidized and turn brown.
04:00Little bit of lemon.
04:02Avocado is set and fresh and I'm just gonna drizzle a little bit of olive oil on for taste.
04:08Not too much.
04:10Then we're gonna sprinkle a little bit of sea salt flakes.
04:14This sea salt is British and actually comes in the shape of crystals.
04:19So rich!
04:22Now I'm gonna top this beautiful toast with some chives.
04:25Finely chopped.
04:26Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
04:28Then just sprinkle a bunch of these on top.
04:32Not too many.
04:33Lastly, top with some edible flowers.
04:36Over here, we have radish flower.
04:39And here, marigold and mini marigold.
04:44If you don't have any edible flowers in your backyard or garden, you can find them at the grocery store.
04:50They're actually where the fresh produce is in many different grocery stores.
04:55Boom!
04:56That's rich!
04:59It's gorgeous!
05:01The glow up is real.
05:04Over here, we have classic toast.
05:07And over here, we have avocado rose toast.
05:11Now time for a little taste test.
05:18Mmm!
05:19Oh my gosh, this is so good.
05:22I don't care if there's flowers all over me.
05:25This is so good.
05:26Mmm!
05:28That's rich.
05:29Oh, it definitely is.
05:31This is the fanciest thing ever.
05:32For now.
05:33Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:37I'm pretty good.
05:37For now, I hope you had a little bit more.
05:38And, um, I hope you enjoyed it.
05:38This is a great day.
05:38I hope you enjoyed it.
05:38You
