Whether it's for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or guac-tail hour, let these avo toast toppings guac your world.
Easy Avocado Toast Toppings
Avocado toast is an easy thing to make on its own. All you have to do is pop some bread in the toaster and mash an avocado to put on it. There's no need to complicate things too much, as these easy avocado toast toppings show:
- Avocado and egg: Mashed avocado topped with a fried or poached egg is a simple and delicious breakfast.
- Avocado and salsa: Avocado topped with fresh salsa spices up your breakfast routine, and it's as easy as opening a jar.
- Avocado, radish, and sea salt: It takes two seconds to thinly slice a radish and add a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Double avocado toast: Dice up some of the avocado for an added topping and toss on cilantro and lime (making it a double avocado toast).
No time to mash an avocado in the morning? No worries. You can make it the night before, push some plastic wrap right over the surface (weird, but it works to keep the air out), and store it in an airtight container for 24 hours.
