For those who can't get enough avocado toast — or are sick of it already

The following question may be divisive: Have you had enough avocado toast, or have you only just begun? Whichever way you answer, I think I've got a dish for you.

From the guys behind the online video channel Boshcomes this hybrid: Avocado Toast Pizza. It's just exactly what it sounds like, a pizza crust topped with the familiar, great combination of avocado and things tart (lemon), spicy (chiles) and green/grassy (cilantro).

I used a precooked Boboli crust, because, well, I don't make a habit of making pizza from scratch on a weeknight. But if you have some dough in your refrigerator or freezer or buy some at the store and want to roll it out and bake it first, go right ahead. I pressed four cloves' worth of garlic to go on that Boboli crust (eight times more than the original recipe called for), along with most of the other ingredients, save the avocado. The aroma as it baked drew more than one salivating co-worker into our Food Lab, too.

When it came out, I topped it with the avocado slices, squeezed the lemon over everything and finished it with a sprinkling of crushed red-pepper flakes, salt and pepper. It tasted like the best avocado toast ever, until I dipped a slice in a side dish of salsa verde, and then it became something else entirely wonderful.
