Grogu has been the inspiration for a handful of unique recipes beloved by fans of "The Mandalorian" and this avocado hummus toast is the latest nod to the small green creature.
Jenn Fujikawa, a former theme park designer-turned-lifestyle and pop culture writer, shared her savory snack just in time for National Avocado Day.
"Traveling the galaxy, you’re sure to encounter a variety of interesting foods along the way; everything from tentacled soup to cerulean-hued cookies," she said. "While these things provide enjoyable sustenance for your long journey, sometimes it’s a healthy piece of avocado toast that will get you through. This tasty treat features fresh flavors that are combined to form the visage of young Grogu himself."
Check out her full recipe below to recreate the dish at home.
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients
1/2 large avocado
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 slice whole wheat country bread, lightly toasted
3 tablespoons hummus
2 pink grapefruit segments
1 kalamata olive, halved
Directions
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the lime juice and garlic powder until just combined.
Spoon the avocado mixture onto the top half of the toast, forming the shape of Grogu’s head, reserving 2 teaspoons.
Spread the hummus on to the bottom half to form his cloak.
Add the remaining avocado to create hands and a nose.
Place the grapefruit segments down for the ears and the olives for the eyes. Use the back of a knife to create face details. Serve immediately.

This October, you can have a snacking buddy for this recipe because Hasbro's Galactic Snackin' Grogu will hit shelves as the hottest new toy this side of the galaxy.
The interactive toy from Hasbro features cute sounds, animated motions and lives up to his name by munching on several included items, like a blue cookie and a bowl of soup. Grogu reacts to each item you give him, gobbling up what he likes and letting you know what you can toss in the swamp. He'll also recognize and respond to his favorite toy, appearing to use the Force to play with it.
