Instructions

  1. Toast the bread (for all recipes)

    In a toaster, heat the bread slices until golden brown. Alternatively, place the sliced bread on a baking sheet. Set the oven rack 6 inches from the top broiling element. Broil the bread until golden brown, about 1 to 3 minutes per side. Keep a close eye on the color change.

  2. Simple Avocado Toast

    Scoop out both sides of the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks. Divide the mixture onto the toasted bread. Drizzle olive oil on top, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley.

  3. Caprese Avocado Toast

    Scoop out both sides of the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks. Spread the mixture onto the toasted bread slices. Add the tomatoes and cheese. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar reduction on top, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with basil.

  4. Salsa Avocado Toast

    Scoop out both sides of the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon lime juice, salt, and pepper. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks. Spread the mixture onto the toasted bread slices. In a small bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeno, and 1 teaspoon lime juice. Add the radish slices and salsa to the toast. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast

    Scoop out both sides of the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon lime juice, salt, and pepper. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks. Spread the cream cheese over the toasted bread slices. Evenly spread the avocado mixture onto the toast. Layer slices of tomato and cucumber on top. Add pieces of smoked salmon, red onions, capers, and dill leaves. Season with black pepper.

  6. Bacon and Egg Avocado Toast

    Cook bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Scoop out both sides of the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper on top of the avocados. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks. Evenly divide the mixture onto the toast. Place 2 strips of bacon on each piece of toast. Heat olive oil in the nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, crack the egg in the pan and cook until the white is set, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the toast and repeat with the other egg. Season with black pepper.

  7. Everything Avocado Toast

    Cut the avocado down the center and remove the pit. Scoop out both sides of the flesh and slice into ¼-inch thick slices. Spread the cream cheese over the toasted bread slices. Layer the slices of avocado overlapping on top. In a small bowl, mix together the white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt, garlic, and onion. Sprinkle ¼ to ½ teaspoon of the seasoning mix on top of the sliced avocado.
