Here's to things that are simple yet so damn good. Avocado toast with Everything Bagel seasoning is just that - a simple but delightful gem of a recipe that perfect for a quick breakfast with eggs, a hearty side for soup, or an energizing snack.

I think avocado toast truly counts as one of life's simple pleasures, and I eat it A LOT. With a thick slice of high quality sourdough, I happily devour it piled high with scrambled eggs or on the side of my favorite roasted cherry tomato soup. And I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but sometimes I even eat it for dessert (does anyone else have a savory tooth after dinner..??). It's something about the buttery, salted avocado mash contrasted with perfectly toasted bread...cue making myself drool.

There are endless topping options, and we should probably dig into that someday, but for today I'm keeping it pretty simple - our trusty everything bagel seasoning is the main flavor source, plus seeds for texture and a little plant-based protein boost. Let's enjoy this simple life pleasure!

Key Ingredients & Notes

Avocado toast with everything bagel seasoning ingredients, including sourdough, avocado, tomato, everything seasoning, hemp seeds, and pepitas.
  • Sourdough bread - We have some really incredible local bakeries that sell our favorite sourdough bread, but feel free to use what you have access to! If you're at the grocery store, I recommend finding a heartier, seedy whole grain bread.
  • Avocado - We're going for peak ripeness here, which means your avocado skin should be dark green. When you gently press your thumb into the avocado, it gives slightly beneath the pressure. I actually always put my avocados in the fridge at this point if I'm not using them right away, because it slows the ripening process and keeps them at their prime ripeness for longer.

Substitutions & Variations

I'm guessing you're hungry, so here a few ideas to get a little more substance on that toast of yours.

  • Avocado toast with egg - So classic and so perfect. Basically what I eat for breakfast every day! Simply top your avocado toast with your egg of choice. It could be a fried egg, hard-boiled (I usually use my Ninja Foodi for boiling eggs), jammy (I even have a jammy egg and toast recipe for you), poached, or even my soft scrambled eggs with fresh chili peppers for a little heat.
  • Avocado toast with chickpeas - Add some chickpeas with a drizzle of olive oil, feta, salt, lemon, and fresh herbs of choice (chives, parsley, and cilantro are all delicious, but you honestly can't go wrong here).
  • Caprese avocado toast - Top your toast with fresh tomatoes (better yet - layer on some garlic oven-roasted tomatoes), sliced mozzarella balls, drizzle with aged balsamic, and sprinkle with salt.

Let's Make This Toast!

Hand mashing avocado on bamboo cutting board.

Step 1: Make the mash.

Slice your avocado in half lengthwise and twist the halves in opposite directions to open. Scoop out the avocado from one half (without the pit) onto a cutting board. Mash with a fork, leaving it slightly chunky if desired. Fold the diced tomatoes into the mash right on the cutting board.

Hand transferring avocado mash to sourdough toast.

Step 2: Toast & spread.

Meanwhile, toast your bread well enough to be slightly browned and crispy all throughout (not burned, not soft). Transfer the avocado mash to your well-toasted bread.

Step 3: Top!

Time to season! Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning, hemp seeds, and pepitas. Serve immediately as avocado browns when exposed to air.text

Tips for Making the BEST Avocado Toast

After many years of making avocado toast, I've developed some tips that make it extra good:

  1. Mash the avocado separately from your toast. I love to mash my avocado and any mix-ins right on my bamboo cutting board and then transfer to the piece of toast. That way, you avoid puncturing your toast or squishing it down. Remember, we want to keep it thick!
  2. Pick avocados in their prime. To see if your avocado is perfectly ripe, it should be dark green in color, and avocado should give slightly when you press into it gently with your thumb. To slow ripening or keep perfectly ripe avocados longer, transfer them to your fridge. This stand true for homemade guacamole as well!
  3. Pick good bread and toast it well. Your bread choice can make all the difference between a memorable piece of toast and one that was just okay. I usually buy locally made sourdough or breads that are fresh and widely available where I live (shout out and love to Madison Sourdough), but when I get bread from Target or the grocery store, I'll look for something hearty with whole grains. Additionally, you want the toast to be sturdy and crunchy, so toast the softness away without burning it. If you want to be pro level, you could even toast it on the stovetop with a bit of olive oil!

Everything Bagel Avocado Toast FAQs

Should I mash or slice my avocado?

Ah yes, to mash or to slice? That is the question. I personally prefer an avocado mash because it doesn't fall apart when eating it, but make it a thick layer of mash. That way you get the best of both worlds - something to sink your teeth into, but that stays on your toast while you're eating it.

How do you make avocado toast without a toaster?

Fun fact, I made my toast on the stove every day living in Spain for six months. Preheat a pan with a touch of olive oil over medium heat. Add your piece of bread and toast it in the olive oil until it's browned on each side, and nicely toasted. Usually 2-3 minutes per side, but check at about 2 minutes in case you want to flip. You could also toast your bread in an oven or air fryer.

Description

Avocado toast with everything bagel seasoning is a simple, savory snack, breakfast, or lunch! A thick layer of avocado mash, plump cherry tomatoes, 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 slice sourdough or whole grain bread
  • ½ avocado, pit removed
  • 4-5 cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pepitas
  • optional: a pinch of salt if desired


Instructions

  1. Mash avocado. Scoop out the avocado flesh onto a cutting board. Using a fork, mash the avocado to desired consistency - I like some slight chunks, but mostly mashed. Fold the diced tomatoes into the avocado mash directly on the cutting board.
  2. Toast bread. Place your bread in the toaster and toast until it's browned evenly and nicely crisped, without being too soft or burned.
  3. Top, season, and serve toast. Transfer the avocado mash to the toast and season with everything bagel seasoning, pepitas, and hemp seeds. If desired, add another pinch of salt (maybe try it first to make sure). Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  1. Toasting while mashing. You could mash your avocado while your toast is in the toast, but I usually do these steps separately. Mashing avocado first gets it ready to go as soon as the toast is out of the toaster, and then I'm eating a warm piece of toast versus one that potentially had to sit and cool down. It also helps me not forget about my toast and burn it, so if you're prone to burning your toast... this helps avoid it!
  2. Mash separately. I always mash my avocado separately instead of directly on the toast, as this helps keep the toast in tact.
  3. Toppings. You can of course go beyond the toppings we have here! Top with eggs, olive oil, feta, chickpeas, chili crunch... all of these would be delicious with this toast.
