Yesterday I posted a recipe for “The Best Gluten Free” Pizza Crust. (It seriously is really freaking good!) To make things easier for our allergic to everything daughter, I’m cooking Gluten-free in the house the majority of the time. It has not been a hardship, but it has taken some adjustments and some sneaking around how I would normally think about things.

Avocado Pizza

For instance, lately I have had a TERRIBLE craving for Avocado toast. Well, it’s kind of hard to eat Avocado toast if you aren’t currently stocking the house with bread, right? But after I discovered that amazing pizza crust- I thought, why don’t I just turn it into the ULTIMATE avocado toast?!

Avocado Pizza

That is what this pizza is- a fancy ode to avocado toast! A crispy, chewy and golden pizza crust generously drizzled in olive oil and a blossom of avocado slices blooming on top. Finely minced lemon zest, fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of coarse kosher salt completes the most simple, beautiful and delicious “alternative pizza.”

Avocado Pizza

Pia and I polished off the whole thing the other afternoon, and by the way- she is 6 and ate half of that pizza. I don’t know how it all fit in her, but that’s how good it was. With a green salad it would make the most lovely vegetarian dinner, but I could also see slicing thin pieces off as appetizers for friends. TRY IT…..
