Classic Avocado Toast Recipe

Prepare and toast bread

Preheat a skillet over medium heat (or use a toaster). Lightly brush both sides of the multigrain bread slices with 1 tsp olive oil. Place bread in the skillet or toaster and toast until golden and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side in a skillet or 2–3 cycles in a toaster, adjusting for your equipment. Transfer toasted slices to a plate.

Infuse oil

While bread toasts, warm 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a small saucepan or skillet over low heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic clove and gently cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic is lightly golden and fragrant but not browned (to avoid bitterness). Remove from heat and set the garlic oil aside. You can leave the garlic slices in the oil for more flavor or remove them if you prefer a smoother oil.

Prepare avocado

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice, a pinch of fine sea salt, and a pinch of coarse black pepper. Use a fork to smash the avocado to your preferred texture — slightly chunky or mostly smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with an additional pinch of salt or pepper if needed.

Assemble on toast

Divide the smashed avocado evenly across the two toasted multigrain slices, spreading it to cover the surface but leaving a slight edge to prevent dripping.

Dress and season

Drizzle the warm garlic oil evenly over the avocado-covered toasts (about 1/2 tablespoon per slice). Sprinkle 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel seasoning evenly between the two slices. Add a light pinch of flaky sea salt to taste and, if desired, a small sprinkle (about 1/8–1/4 tsp) of red pepper flakes for heat.
