Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 220kcal
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread see post for my best bread recommendations
- 1 avocado medium or large
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tomatoes use medium slicing tomatoes, or equivalent quantity of roma or cherry
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional additional toppings see Notes
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.
Notes
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.
