Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
Toast the bread to your liking.
While the toast is still hot, lightly rub the surface with the cut side of the fresh garlic clove.
Scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon and use a fork to mash it onto the toast.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
If desired, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and olive oil or add the toppings below. Serve immediately.

The avocado can be mashed as smooth or as chunky as you’d like it. Avocado oxidizes (turns brown) quickly, so mashed avocado should be eaten right away.
If using only half of the avocado, leave the pit in the half that will be refrigerated for later use. This will help keep it fresh a bit longer.
Optional Avocado Toast Toppings:

everything bagel seasoning
fried egg and crispy bacon bits
lox, capers, minced onion
tomato, bocconcini, basil, balsamic glaze
sriracha and honey
