Avocado Tomato Toast

I originally wrote  this blog post in 2017, and I wanted to leave this first paragraph in here so that you all can see it and think back to the days when avocado toast was just becoming a trend.

  I had heard about avocado toast being on hip restaurant menus, but I hadn’t tried it yet.  I mean, let’s be honest, the idea of avocado with toast sounds a bit strange at first. Then one of my friend’s told me that avocado toast was one of her favorite things to have right now.  Then I went to go visit my parents for the weekend and my mom told me that I had to try Avocado toast with toppings.  Creamy Avocado seasoned and mashed, spread over crisp toast then sprinkled with crunchy cherry tomatoes and fresh cilantro. It sounded a bit different, but I was all for trying it. And I am glad that I did. It’s delicious! Plus, avocado is good for you too.

Seriously, how funny is that?! Now there are tons of versions of avocado toast and it’s on just about everything breakfast and brunch menu all over the world!

While avocado toast may seem like a simple dish, its popularity speaks volumes about its deliciousness and versatility. Heck, you can even buy pre-mixed avocado and egg, making avocado toast even easier to make…Plus, you get the added protein of the egg. WIN-WIN!

Why we love Avocado Toast

A Wholesome Meal

The creamy texture of ripe avocado pairs perfectly with the crunch of toasted bread, offering a delightful contrast in every bite.

Health Benefits Galore

Beyond its delicious taste and texture, avocado toast is also packed with nutritional benefits. Avocados are nutrient powerhouses, boasting nearly 20 essential vitamins and minerals per serving. They are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, and potassium while being low in sugar. Incorporating avocados into your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Elevating the Flavor Profile

While avocado toast is delicious on its own, adding complementary toppings can take it to the next level. In this recipe, we’re enhancing the classic avocado toast with vibrant cherry tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. These additions not only add layers of flavor and texture but also elevate the dish with their nutritional value.

Simple Yet Sophisticated

What makes avocado toast truly remarkable is its simplicity and versatility. With just a few basic ingredients, you can create a gourmet breakfast, lunch, or snack in minutes.

Avocado toast is incredibly versatile, and there are countless delicious toppings you can experiment with.

Here are 10 creative toppings to elevate your avocado toast game:

1. Sliced Radishes and Microgreens: Add a peppery crunch with thinly sliced radishes and a sprinkle of vibrant microgreens for freshness.
2. Smoked Salmon and Capers: Top your avocado toast with slices of smoked salmon and a few capers for a luxurious and savory flavor profile.
3. Feta Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Crumble tangy feta cheese over mashed avocado and garnish with chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist.
4. Poached Egg and Everything Bagel Seasoning: Top your avocado toast with a perfectly poached egg and a generous sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for a satisfying and savory breakfast. *You can also grab this one in-store.
5. Pesto, Cherry Tomatoes, and Balsamic Glaze: Spread a layer of your favorite pesto on top of mashed avocado. Then, add halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness. Finish by drizzling a swirl of balsamic glaze over the top for a sweet and tangy flavor contrast.
6. Crispy Bacon and Arugula: Crumble crispy bacon over mashed avocado and top with a handful of peppery arugula for a satisfying combination of textures and flavors.
