  • Avocado: 1 ripe Hass avocado (per 2 slices of toast)
  • Acid: Lemon or lime wedges
  • Salt and spices: Kosher salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (optional), everything bagel seasoning (optional)
  • Fresh elements: Cherry tomatoes, cucumber ribbons, radishes, arugula, or microgreens
  • Protein add-ons (optional): Fried, poached, or jammy egg; smoked salmon; crispy chickpeas; turkey bacon
  • Creamy or tangy extras (optional): Feta, goat cheese, ricotta, or dairy-free alternatives
  • Crunchy toppings: Toasted seeds (pumpkin, sesame), crushed pistachios, or hemp hearts
  • Flavor boosters: Olive oil, hot honey, balsamic glaze, pickled onions, fresh herbs (cilantro, basil, dill)
  • Garlic (optional): 1 small clove or a pinch of garlic powder

Instructions

  • Choose and toast your base. Pick a sturdy gluten-free bread or alternative like sweet potato slices. Toast until golden and crisp to support the creamy avocado.
  • Prep the avocado. Halve, pit, and scoop into a bowl. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with a few chunks.
  • Season well. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. If you like heat, add red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust.
  • Add garlic and oil (optional). A tiny grated garlic clove and a drizzle of olive oil deepen the flavor. Mix gently.
  • Spread generously. Spoon the avocado onto the toast, reaching the edges so every bite is seasoned and the toast doesn’t dry out.
  • Top by theme. Try one of these ideas: Classic Crunch: Radish slices, flaky salt, olive oil.
  • Tomato Basil: Halved cherry tomatoes, torn basil, balsamic glaze.
  • Smoked Salmon: Smoked salmon, capers, dill, lemon zest.
  • Egg + Everything: Jammy egg slices and everything bagel seasoning.
  • Spicy Honey: Red pepper flakes and a light drizzle of hot honey.
  • Green Garden: Cucumber ribbons, arugula, and hemp hearts.
  • Mediterranean: Crumbled feta, olives, and a sprinkle of oregano.
  • Protein Crunch: Crispy chickpeas and toasted pumpkin seeds.
  • Finish with freshness. Add a final squeeze of citrus and a tiny pinch of salt to wake up the flavors.
  • Serve right away. Avocado browns and toast softens with time, so enjoy immediately for the best texture.
