Instructions

Toast the bread using your favorite method. Read my secrets for how to toast the best bread in a pan - my favorite way!
Layer flavors by spreading a thin layer of butter on the slices of toast, which is optional, but recommended. If you toasted buttery bread in a skillet, skip this instruction.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocado and slice the tomatoes. See my quick and easy avocado mashing tips.
Spread the mashed avocado on the toast. I find a fork to be best utensil for this.
Top with sliced tomato and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Add additional seasonings and toppings of choice - see Notes for my favorite suggestions.

Avocado toast toppings

In addition to sliced tomato, here are a few of my favorite toppings and ways to customize your masterpiece:

Layer the flavors – replace the butter with garlic infused olive oil, Homemade Pesto, Green Chimichurri, a sprinkle of All-Purpose Seasoning, or a little Homemade Tikka Masala
Herbs – top with Everything But the Bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes, za’atar, dill, chives, parsley, cilantro or Aleppo pepper (read more about this amazing pepper in my Aleppo Pepper Ingredient Spotlight)
Add a drizzle – drizzle with Lime Crema, olive oil, pesto, hot sauce or a balsamic glaze (see instructions for an easy balsamic glaze in my Burrata Caprese Salad recipe)
Cheese – top with a dollop of ricotta, burrata or soft chevre

What goes well with avocado toast?

While I enjoy just eating this as a meal, it pairs incredibly well with other dishes.

Eggs – these are a perfect pairing, whether served on the side or on top. Add a fried, poached, boiled, scrambled egg or Egg Salad to the top of your toast or serve alongside an omelet or a slice of Leek and Ham Frittata.
Salad – any kind of toasty bread is great with salad. Try it with a Kale BLT Salad or Beet Salad with Walnuts and Feta.
Breakfast sausage – add a little protein to your plate to start your day off right!
Breakfast smoothies – I like to add a little whey protein to a Low-carb Strawberry Smoothie to have with my toast.
