Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 4 slices bread
Avocado Mash
- 1 large or 2 small DOLE avocados, mashed
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
Decorations
- 4 Brazil nuts, cut in half
- 1/2 DOLE banana, sliced
- DOLE raisins as needed
- DOLE organic spinach as needed
- DOLE carrots as needed, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Remove crusts from the bread slices to create a rectangular shape, enhancing the Frankenstein-inspired appearance.
- Mash the Avocado: In a bowl, mash the avocados thoroughly and mix in about 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning and add brightness.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the prepared bread slices until they are golden and slightly crispy for a sturdy base.
- Apply Avocado Mash: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted bread slice. Use a fork to create streaks and texture in the avocado, mimicking the look of Frankenstein’s skin.
- Create the Frankenstein Features: Attach the halved Brazil nuts to the upper sides of the toast “head” to resemble bolts. Scatter raisins along the top edge to form “hair.” Slice the banana and arrange the pieces to shape eyes and a mouth. Use raisins to form pupils in the eyes and teeth within the mouth if desired.
- Add the Neck: Place sliced carrots below the toast to represent Frankenstein’s neck.
- Assemble the Body: Arrange fresh spinach leaves on the serving plate beneath the toasts to create the appearance of a body. When serving two toasts, position them to resemble a “two-headed” Frankenstein.
