Easy Avocado Toast is a quick, nutrient-packed breakfast made with creamy mashed avocado spread over toasted bread and topped with a flavorful seasoning blend. It's a simple and delicious morning meal.
Easy Avocado Toast makes a flavorful breakfast, but you can enjoy it any time of day when you want a snack or a light meal.
After you spread ripe avocado on the toast, you can add a variety of savory spices, such as salt, red pepper flakes, dried onion, or garlic. Or use whatever you like to suit your own taste. Everything is optional!
I use Avocado Toast Seasoning by Einstein Bros. Bagels because it has a delicious blend all in one mix, including a zing from red pepper.
For a whole-grain option, use whole-grain bread!

A little about avocados
Native to the Americas, avocados are a delicious fruit used in dips and salads. They are also sometimes substituted for fats in baking.
Avocados are high in calories due to their high fat content. However, the fat is the "good" monounsaturated fat, which helps lower cholesterol when eaten in moderation.
Avocados are also a healthy source of close to 20 vitamins and nutrients, so whip up a bowl of Easy Avocado Dip and enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I pick the right avocado for avocado toast?
Choose an avocado that gives slightly when you gently press the skin but isn't mushy or bruised. You can also check under the stem-if it comes off easily and the flesh underneath is green, the avocado is usually ripe and ready to use.
How can I keep leftover avocado from turning brown?
If you only use half an avocado, leave the pit in the unused half, squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the flesh, and press plastic wrap directly against the surface before refrigerating. The avocado is best used within a day or two.
What kind of bread works best for avocado toast?
You can use any bread you like, but sturdy whole-grain bread, sourdough, or thick-sliced artisan bread work especially well. They hold up to the creamy avocado without becoming soggy.
Can I make avocado toast ahead of time?
Avocado toast is best eaten fresh because the avocado can brown when exposed to air. However, you can mash the avocado with a little lemon juice and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a few hours before assembling your toast.
Is there a ready-made seasoning I can use instead of making my own?
Yes. I use Avocado Toast Seasoning by Einstein Bros. Bagels. It adds delicious flavor from a blend of sea salt, garlic, and onion, with a hint of lemon flavor and a zing from red pepper.
Can I use everything bagel seasoning on avocado toast?
Absolutely! Everything bagel seasoning adds a savory combination of spices and seeds that pairs well with creamy avocado. You can use a store-bought blend or make your own with this Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning.
