The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m Inaya, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Growing up, I spent countless hours in my grandmother’s kitchen, learning the art of traditional Greek cooking. But along the way, I discovered another love — making food fun! Cooking doesn’t always have to be serious; sometimes it can be playful, colorful, and a little silly.
One of my favorite creations is Frankenstein Toast with mashed avocado and veggie decorations. It’s perfect for Halloween, but honestly, I love making it year-round whenever I want to surprise my kids or bring laughter to the breakfast table. Imagine starting your morning with a green Frankenstein face staring back at you — but instead of scary, he’s delicious, healthy, and full of flavor!
This Frankenstein Toast recipe is made with creamy mashed avocado, hearty bread, and clever veggie toppings to bring Frankenstein’s face to life. It’s quick, easy, and a creative way to get kids excited about eating their vegetables. Whether you’re planning a Halloween party or just need a fun weekend breakfast idea, this toast will make everyone smile.
Food is about memories, laughter, and connection — and trust me, when you serve Frankenstein Toast, you’ll create all three.
Ingredients for Frankenstein Toast
To make your Frankenstein toast come alive, you’ll need:
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread (or your favorite bread)
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 black olives (for the eyes)
- 2 slices of cucumber (for the eyeball base)
- Cherry tomato slice (for the mouth)
- Thin carrot sticks or red bell pepper strips (for stitches)
- Small piece of nori or spinach leaf (for Frankenstein’s hair)
- Optional: cream cheese or hummus for extra decoration
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Toast your bread slices until golden and slightly crisp. This gives a nice crunch to your Frankenstein toast and helps hold the toppings.
Step 2: Mash the Avocado
Cut open the ripe avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Spread the Green Base
Generously spread the mashed avocado over your toast slices. This creates Frankenstein’s green “face.”
Step 4: Add Frankenstein’s Features
- Place cucumber slices as eyeballs.
- Put black olive halves on top as pupils.
- Add a cherry tomato slice for a quirky smile.
- Use carrot sticks or pepper strips for Frankenstein’s iconic “stitches.”
- Cut small pieces of nori or spinach to create his wild hair.
Serving Frankenstein Toast
Serve Frankenstein Toast immediately for the best taste and appearance. It’s a perfect Halloween party snack, after-school treat, or weekend breakfast. Pair it with a warm cup of tea, fresh orange juice, or even a smoothie for a complete meal.
If you’re making these for a party, prepare all your veggie decorations in advance, then assemble right before serving so the avocado stays fresh and green. Kids will love helping decorate — and when they do, they’re more likely to eat it too!
