Creamy avocado on crispy toast, topped with savory everything seasoning and optional additions.

# What You Need:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread

→ Avocado

02 - 1 ripe avocado

→ Toppings

03 - 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
04 - 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

# How-To Steps:

01 - Toast the bread slices using a toaster or grill pan until preferred crispness is achieved.

03 - Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
04 - Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the avocado spread.
05 - Add any optional toppings such as eggs, crumbled feta, fresh herbs, or red pepper flakes as desired.
06 - Serve the prepared toast promptly while the bread remains crisp.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Ready in the time it takes to toast bread, which means no excuses for skipping breakfast.
  • That savory, umami-rich seasoning makes simple ingredients taste deliberately seasoned without any fuss.
  • Endlessly customizable depending on what's in your fridge and how hungry you're feeling.
02 -
  • The bread must be warm and crispy when the avocado goes on, otherwise you end up with soggy toast and a disappointing texture.
  • If your avocado is underripe, a little patience and a paper towel trick works better than forcing it, and a truly overripe one will taste bitter no matter what else you add.
03 -
  • If you're running late and only have hard avocado, slice it thin instead of mashing it, then press it gently with the fork directly on the toast.
  • A quick rub of the toast with a cut garlic clove before spreading the avocado adds depth that tastes deliberate without tasting overdone.
