Avocado toast is the kind of meal that works for any time of day—whether it’s a quick breakfast, a light lunch, or an afternoon snack. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up something that feels fresh and flavorful, and the best part is that it’s easy to customize. From fried eggs to balsamic tomatoes to feta and olives, you can switch up the toppings based on what you have on hand. While it’s best enjoyed fresh, you can prep the avocado mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a day, making it even more convenient when you need a quick bite.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Arrange the sliced French loaf on a baking sheet and brush each piece with olive oil. Take a whole garlic clove and rub it across the surface of the bread for added flavor. Lightly season with salt and pepper, then bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
1 French loaf, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 garlic clove, Salt and pepper
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado until it reaches a chunky consistency. Stir in the minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.

Spread the avocado mixture over the tostadas.
Option 1:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until they reach your preferred doneness. Place the eggs on top of the avocado toast and sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt. Spoon the tomatoes over the avocado toast, add fresh basil, and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.

Option 3:
Top the avocado toast with crumbled feta cheese and halved olives. Sprinkle with oregano and drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top before serving.

Notes
Choose ripe avocados: They should be slightly soft when pressed but not mushy. Overripe avocados can be too watery, while underripe ones will be hard to mash.
Toast the bread until golden brown: A crispy base holds up better under the avocado and toppings, preventing sogginess.
Use fresh garlic for flavor: Rubbing a whole garlic clove on the bread adds a subtle depth without overpowering the avocado.
Season well: Avocados need salt to bring out their natural flavor. Taste the mixture before spreading it on the toast.
Variations: These three options are just a starting point. Try adding smoked salmon, bacon, radishes, red onion, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of hot honey for a different twist.
Assemble right before serving: The longer the avocado sits, the more it oxidizes and browns. For the freshest taste, mash and spread just before eating.
Bread: I’ve used French bread, but you can also use whole grain bread, sourdough bread, or bagels and have bagel avocado toast.
