Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 4 slices bread
Avocado Mash
- 1 large or 2 small DOLE avocados, mashed
- About 2 tablespoons of 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 Bread Slices: Remove crusts from the bread slices carefully to create a rectangular shape that better suits the Frankenstein design.
- Mash Avocado: Mash the DOLE avocados thoroughly with about 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning and add a tangy flavor.
- Toast Bread: Toast the prepared bread slices until golden brown and crisp to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Apply Avocado Mash: Spread the mashed avocado generously over each toasted bread slice. Use a fork to create streaks and texture on the surface, simulating Frankenstein’s skin.
- Create Frankenstein’s Face and Features: Attach the halved Brazil nuts on the upper sides of the bread to represent the bolts of Frankenstein’s head. Place raisins along the top edge to form hair. Slice the banana to create eyes and mouth shapes; use additional raisins to form eyeballs and teeth for expressive facial features.
- Add Neck and Body: Arrange sliced carrots below the ‘face’ to represent the neck. Plate the toasts on a serving dish and surround with DOLE organic spinach to form Frankenstein’s body. Consider making a ‘two-headed’ formation when serving two toasts for added fun.
