    Avocado Toast with Everything Bagel Seasoning

    Jump to Recipe

    Avocado toast is one of those things you can eat any time of day. Bright and early breakfast? Lunch during the work week? Late afternoon weekend brunch? A quick dinner that you need to pull together? Avocado toast. This recipe for Avocado Toast with Everything Bagel Seasoning is one of my favorite versions. It's crunchy, savory, salty with a little bit of heat, and packs so much flavor!

    As always, I do include a few affiliate links in this post for products I truly use and love.

    You can get ripe avocados almost any time of year, but of course they're particularly wonderful in the summertime. There is nothing better than slicing into an avocado, opening it up, and seeing the most perfect, pristine green, ripe interior.

    Ingredients

    The recipe name really says it all. There are just a few ingredients you need to pull this dish together.

    Ingredients for avocado toast with everything bagel seasoning.
    • Crusty bread: your bread will be toasted, but you want to make sure it's a nice, crusty bread that is going to hold up and keep its shape once you add the avocado on top. No one wants a floppy avocado toast!
    • Avocados: you'll need 1-2 ripe avocados for this recipe (depending on how much you want to load up your toast!). I like to be pretty generous with the avocado - more is better! Also, if your avocados are a little past their prime, smashing them for avocado toast is a great way to use them up.
    • Everything Bagel Seasoning: this adds such a wonderful flavor to the dish. I like to use the Everything Bagel Seasoning from Watkins, but there are many different brands available. Before you get started, be sure to take a look at the salt content of the mix you're using; that will help you determine how much flaky sea salt you might want to use.
    • Red pepper flakes: this brings just a bit of heat. If you'd rather leave this off, you can!
    • Flaky sea salt: the best way to finish a dish! I like to use Maldon Sea Salt.

    See recipe below for detailed instructions.

    Instructions

    This Avocado Toast with Everything Bagel Seasoning comes together in just a few steps. There are many different ways you can add your avocado to the toast, but I'm going to walk you through how to make beautiful slices that lay nicely on the toast.

    Four slices of toast on white parchment paper.

    Toast your bread and let it cool. If the bread is too warm, the avocado will start to melt.

    An avocado scooped out of the skin on a table next to a slice of toast and small bowl of sea salt.

    Cut the avocado in half and remove the seed. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado out of the casing in one piece.

    A sliced half avocado on wooden cutting board.

    Place cut-side down, and use a knife to carefully and thinly slice the avocado.

    Press the avocado in one direction so it "lays down," then use a knife to transfer the laying avocado to the toast.

    You can also place avocado slices or chunks on the toast and smash them with a fork to create smashed avocado. Once your avocado is on the toast, drizzle with lemon juice, everything bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes and flaky sea salt.

    Hint: If your avocados are really (potentially overly) ripe, smashing them will give a better result and help hide any over-ripe or brown spots. In order to make the slices that lay nicely like in the instructions above, the avocado has to be ripe, but also firm enough to hold its shape.

    Variations

    There are so many wonderful variations to avocado toast. Below are a few that I love:

    • Avocado Toast with Tomatoes and Bacon - topping your avocado toast with juicy tomatoes and crunchy bacon is always a winning combination!
    • Avocado Toast with Honey - if you're looking for a sweeter version, drizzle your avocado toast with honey (and perhaps some red pepper flakes) for a sweet and spicy combo.
    • Fried Egg Avocado Toast: add a fried egg (or scrambled, if you prefer!)

    Equipment

    Avocado toast requires hardly any equipment at all. To bring it together, you'll need a cutting board and knife, toaster or oven (to toast your bread), and a fork to smash your avocado.

    Storage

    Avocado toast does not store well, so I suggest making it just when you're ready to eat it. If you let it sit too long, the bread starts to get soggy from the avocado and lemon juice. Luckily, this recipe comes together in just a few minutes, so it's easy to whip up!

    Top tip

    Since there are just a few ingredients to this recipe, it's important they're really great. A nice, crusty bread will make a ton of difference in giving this recipe some crunch. Beautifully ripe avocados will look incredible and taste amazing. Fresh lemon juice and just a sprinkling of the seasonings bring this together into a truly elegant dish.
