Five simple methods for preparing avocado toast, ranging from a classic base to gourmet and protein-packed variations for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Optional Toppings: 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 4 slices cooked bacon, 1/2 cucumber thinly sliced, chili flakes, everything bagel seasoning, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  2. In a bowl, mash the avocados coarsely with a fork for a creamy texture.
  3. Mix the lime juice, salt, and pepper into the mashed avocado.
  4. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the four toast slices.
  5. Prepare your desired variation (see below).
  6. Drizzle all finished toasts lightly with olive oil before serving.

Notes

  • For a crunchier texture, toast the bread longer or lightly toast the avocado mixture in a pan for one minute before spreading.
  • If you prefer a smoother spread, blend the avocado mixture briefly in a food processor.
  • Use high-quality sourdough bread for the best flavor base.
  • To make the egg topping, fry or poach two eggs to your preference.
