Discover twelve simple and fast ways to prepare the best avocado toast, including classic, egg-topped, and vegan options perfect for a quick breakfast or healthy snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Toast your bread slices until they reach your preferred level of crispness.
  2. While the bread toasts, prepare your avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  3. Add a small squeeze of lemon juice, if using, to prevent browning and add brightness.
  4. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired texture—creamy or slightly chunky. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the seasoned avocado evenly over the warm toast slices.
  6. Choose one of the twelve topping variations (see notes) and add it to your toast immediately.
  7. Serve your ultimate avocado toast right away for the best flavor and texture.
