Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole-grain bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • Fresh microgreens (optional)
  • 1 tbsp feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Heat a skillet or toaster. Toast the whole-grain bread until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  3. Season the avocado: Add lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine.
  4. Assemble the toast: Spread the seasoned avocado evenly onto each slice of toasted bread. Use the back of a spoon to create nice swirls.
  5. Add toppings: Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes if desired, and sesame seeds.
  6. Serve immediately: Add microgreens on top if using. Serve right away while the toast is still warm and crispy.

Pro Tips for Perfect Avocado Toast

  • Choose avocados that yield slightly when pressed – not too hard, not too soft
  • Sprinkle with lemon or lime juice immediately to prevent browning
  • Use thick-cut bread for better texture and to hold the toppings
  • Toast bread in a pan with butter for extra flavor and crunch
  • Add a poached egg on top for extra protein and a restaurant-style dish

Delicious Variations

  • Mediterranean Style: Add feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of honey
  • Asian Inspired: Use soy sauce, sesame oil, and top with furikake
  • Spicy Version: Add sriracha, chili flakes, and crispy bacon
  • Loaded Avocado Toast: Add roasted chickpeas, radishes, and pickled onions
  • Sweet Version: Top with sliced strawberries, honey, and granola

Breakfast: Serve with a side of fresh fruit, a smoothie, or a cup of coffee for a complete morning meal.
