Not all avocado toasts are created equal. 🥑🍳
At The Mission, ours starts with thick-cut house-made rosemary bread, toasted golden and topped with smashed avocado and two eggs over medium.
Then comes the part people don’t expect — a fresh roasted beet & orange salad with watercress, candied pecans, and creamy French goat cheese that completely steals the show. ✨
Fresh, vibrant, satisfying, and made for slow brunch mornings in San Diego. Pair it with a Purple Cloud, mimosa, or michelada and you’re doing brunch the right way. ☀️🥂
