Smashed Avocado on Toast

Melbourne's smashed avocado on sourdough toast became the global brunch cliche of the 2010s: the original version, popularised by Cafe Notting Hill in the mid-1990s and taken mainstream by cafes like St. Ali, is a simple combination of ripe avocado, sourdough and lemon that gets dressed up endlessly.
