Make the best creamy, crispy avocado toast quickly. This base recipe is perfect for beginners and includes five simple topping ideas for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices artisan bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.
  2. While the bread toasts, slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  3. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the avocado.
  4. Use a fork to coarsely mash the avocado to your preferred texture. For a creamier spread, mash thoroughly.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the two slices of hot toast.
  6. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and Everything Bagel seasoning, if using.
  7. Serve immediately for the best texture contrast.

Notes

  • For a restaurant-style texture, use slightly stale bread and toast it well.
  • If you prefer a smoother spread, blend the avocado mixture briefly in a small food processor.
  • Topping Idea 1 (High Protein): Top with 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese and a drizzle of honey.
  • Topping Idea 2 (Savory): Top with one fried egg and a dash of hot sauce.
  • Topping Idea 3 (Gourmet): Top with thinly sliced cucumber and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
  • Topping Idea 4 (Spicy): Top with bacon crumbles and chili flakes.
  • Topping Idea 5 (Vegan Simple): Top with sliced tomato and fresh basil leaves.
