Avocado Toast

Sometimes the simplest things give so much pleasure, and nothing is truer than with avocado toast. So quick and easy to make, seasoned mashed avocado on gluten-free toasted bread, topped with everything bagel seasoning. It’s is one of my favorite things!

Avocado toast is always a go-to for me. Perfect for a quick breakfast you can run out the door with, and great for lunches when you are short on time.

Avocados are loaded with nutrients and good fats, they are perfect when you need an energy boost. Be sure to also try my breakfast egg muffins and the green smoothie bowl for other healthy breakfasts.

Avocado Toast Ingredients

• Avocado – use a soft and ripe avocado
• Lemon juice – to keep the avocado green
• Salt and pepper – to taste
• Everything bagel seasoning – for flavor
• Bread – I use gluten-free bread but you can use your favorite bread
• Avocado Toast Toppings (see toast variations below)

How To Make Avocado Toast

It takes just minutes to make this delicious avocado breakfast!

• Mash avocados and lemon juice in a small bowl with the back of a fork and spread the avocado mixture on toasted bread.
• Season it with salt and black pepper to taste, and sprinkle some everything bagel seasoning.
• Top with desired toppings.

Avocado Toast Variations

Avocados on toast are so perfect by themself, but it’s so easy to add other toppings. It’s simple to elevate this avocado toast recipe and make it perfect for more filling breakfasts or to enjoy on a weekend brunch – for example, one of my favorites is avocado egg toast. These are some of my other favorite avocado toast ideas:

• Sliced cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese 
• Sliced hard-boiled egg, poached egg or fried egg
• Smoked salmon, chopped fresh dill and honey mustard 
• Soft scrambled egg and crumbled bacon 
• Pico de Gallo 
• Goat cheese and chives
• Cucumber slices, red onion slices, and dill
• Radishes, cheese, and parsley

Use Ripe Avocados!

The most important thing to make this the best avocado toast ever is to make sure that your avocados are perfectly ripe. When they are underripe, they are harder to mash and the flavor is not as rich. A ripe avocado will give slightly when you squeeze it.

What’s the best bread to use?

To keep this breakfast gluten-free, I like to use my favorite gluten-free bread. I use fairly thick slices to support the toppings. If you aren’t sensitive to gluten, you can use your favorite bread, the nuttiness, and texture of whole grain work really well.

Can you make mashed avocado ahead of time?

It’s best not to make the avocado topping too far ahead of time as it can start to turn brown. If you are planning on making it ahead, be sure to add in the lemon juice as this will help to slow the process. You can keep it covered in the fridge for up to a day.

How to store half an avocado?

Place the cut avocado with the flesh-side down in a bowl half full with water, cover, and place in the fridge. This will keep the avocado from turning brown for about another two days.

Recipe Tips and Notes

• Use ripe avocados that give a little when you squeeze them gently.
• Mash the avocados by hand. Don’t be tempted to use a food processor as this will make them too mushy.
• Add a little bit a lemon juice. This will help slow down the browning process of the avocado.
• Add seasoning. Taste the mashed avocado before using and adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Add in Garlic. Rub raw peeled garlic clove over top of each slice of toast before spreading the avocado mixture.
