I have loved Avocado on bread with eggs and veggies since I was a little girl. Salt, pepper, a drizzle of lemon juice and I couldn't wait to indulge on it. I also made these toasts often for my kids! That's why I was surprised and glad when all this Avocado Toast or "AvToast" craze flooded the Internet and appeared on all the breakfast menus around. I thought to myself, they finally discovered it!... 

It became "a delicious culinary creation" that's taken hipster eateries by storm. Avocado toast apparently became a certified Big Deal a few years back because Gwyneth Paltrow put it in her "It's All Good" cookbook in 2013, but I'm sure many people, have been enjoying it way before just like I have.

Nevertheless, in the interest of making you wiser, here are some interesting facts about avocado toast.

• It can range from 400 to 700 calories per serving
• It seems to have first appeared on a menu in 1993, in Australia
• According to Google Trends, interest in avocado toast has grown steadily since 2013
• New York produces the most searches for avocado toast; Washington DC is second
• A casual survey of prices shows that toast dishes can range from $4 to well over $20, depending on toppings
• Possible toast toppings include egg, crab, tuna, pomegranate, pumpkin seeds, sprouts, shrimp, arugula, chickpeas, bacon, tomato, dukkah, roasted garlic and hemp seeds... Or anything that you like really.

I will stick to avocado, tomato, egg, a little bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.  Yum!
