Favorite variations of avocado toast:

Whether crafted for a leisurely breakfast, a quick lunch, or a fuss-free dinner, I hope these recipes bring you as much joy as they do to me! This summer, let’s celebrate the simplicity of avocado toast—creamy avocado generously spread on perfectly toasted bread is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

1. Everything Bagel Avocado Toast
Sprinkle a generous amount of everything bagel seasoning on top of your  toast. You can use a homemade blend or find it at stores like Trader Joe’s or Williams-Sonoma (affiliate link). Since these seasonings are typically salty, be mindful not to over-salt your avocado.

2. Loaded Avocado Toast
Combine chopped fresh radish, green onion, jalapeño (seeds and ribs removed), and toasted sunflower seeds. Sprinkle this flavorful mix generously over your toast.

3. Tomato-Basil Avocado Toast with Balsamic Drizzle
Use ripe tomatoes to top your  toast, then drizzle with a light amount of high-quality thick balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze. Finish with torn fresh basil leaves for added freshness.

4. Cafe Gitane-Style 
Inspired by the NYC café that popularized avocado toast, spread a thick layer of mashed avocado on your toast. Smooth it evenly and mound it slightly. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and generously sprinkle with red pepper flakes and flaky salt.

How to Make the Best Toast

• Choose ripe, firm Hass avocados—ones that yield slightly to gentle pressure but avoid those that feel mushy or stringy inside. Remove any bruised or brown parts before mashing.
• Select sturdy, thick-sliced whole grain bread for the best base. Toast it until golden to provide a firm texture and crispy contrast with the creamy avocado.
• Mash your avocados separately in a bowl or on a plate to achieve a creamy texture, similar to guacamole. Avoid mashing directly on the toast to prevent tearing or flattening. Cut avocados in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and mash with a fork. For larger quantities, consider using a potato masher or pastry cutter.
• Season with at least a pinch of salt per avocado half. For added flavor, finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

3 Rules for Making the Absolute Best Toast

Mash, Never Slice

Mashed avocado is easier and creamier for toast than thinly sliced ones.

Squeeze with Lime — Always

Lime juice is essential for avocado toast—it adds a bright, tangy flavor that balances the creamy avocado perfectly.

Tajín

Tajín seasoning elevates avocado toast with its spicy, tangy, and salty blend—perfect for a flavorful twist.
