Equally filling – if not more so – is the garden toast ($10). Before I go on – have you heard of “avocado toast”? It’s been the culinary darling on vegan food blogs for years and various ways to serve it now show up in the breakfast sections of many new cookbooks. Simply put: you mash ripe avocado with a fork onto a piece of toast. From there, add anything you like. At Switchback, the avocado toast is not vegan (as it contains eggs and honey) but the garden toast is, and it offers up a balanced nutrition profile: whole grains and vegetables. The base is a thick, substantial piece of toasted bread. The verdant chunky avocado is plentiful and covered in vegetables (multi-colored tomatoes, beets and onion) and colorful edible flowers. A sight to behold.
