Ingredients

For Classic Avocado Toast

  • 1 piece thick cut grainy bread
  • ½ large ripe avocado
  • 1-2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

For the Tomato Basil Toast

  • ¼ cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons basil vinaigrette

For Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon and Red Onions

  • 2 thin slices smoked salmon
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onions

For Avocado Toast with Bacon and Eggs

  • 1 egg, scrambled
  • 1-2 pieces crispy bacon

For Avocado Toast with Goat Cheese and Chives

  • 2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon freshly snipped chives

For Avocado Toast with Pico de Gallo

  • ¼ cup pico de gallo

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast the thick cut grainy bread until it is just golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes depending on thickness, to achieve a crisp and sturdy base for the avocado spread.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove and discard the pit, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in 1-2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to prevent browning. Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble Classic Avocado Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Add more salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the freshness.
  4. Make Tomato Basil Variation: Toss halved cherry tomatoes with basil vinaigrette in a small bowl, then pile this mixture on top of the avocado spread and serve immediately.
  5. Make Smoked Salmon and Red Onions Variation: Layer thin slices of smoked salmon over the avocado toast, then add thinly sliced red onions on top. Serve immediately.
  6. Make Bacon and Eggs Variation: Prepare scrambled eggs and cook bacon until crispy. Transfer scrambled eggs over the avocado toast and add crispy bacon pieces on top. Serve warm.
  7. Make Goat Cheese and Chives Variation: Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and freshly snipped chives over the avocado toast and serve immediately for a savory twist.
  8. Make Pico de Gallo Variation: Spoon fresh pico de gallo on top of the avocado spread and serve to add a fresh and zesty flavor.
