Add Toast Recipe

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat, or preheat the broiler. Lightly brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil or spread with softened butter.

Toast the bread 1–2 minutes per side in the skillet until golden and crisp (or place under broiler 1–3 minutes per side, watching closely) until edges are crisp and centers slightly chewy. Sprinkle the hot toast with coarse salt while still warm.

Scoop the avocado into a small bowl and mash with a fork until mostly smooth but slightly chunky. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Spread an even layer of mashed avocado over each toasted bread slice, leaving a small border at the edges to prevent sogginess.

Tomato & Cheese

Scatter halved cherry tomatoes over the avocado, then crumble feta or goat cheese on top for a bright, tangy contrast.

Radish & Greens

Arrange thin radish slices and a small handful of microgreens or baby arugula over the avocado for peppery crunch.

Egg-Topped

Top the avocado with a soft-cooked egg: for poached, bring a pot of water with a splash of vinegar to a gentle simmer, create a whirlpool and slip in a cracked egg, cook 3–4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon; for fried, heat a nonstick pan with a little oil and cook until whites set but yolk remains runny, 2–3 minutes. Place egg on toast.

If using everything bagel seasoning, sprinkle it evenly over the assembled toppings. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want heat.

Drizzle a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil over each toast, finish with freshly ground black pepper and a light sprinkling of flaky sea salt.

Serve immediately while toast is crisp and any egg (if used) is warm. Enjoy.
