Ingredients needed
This avocado bread recipe is truly made with just 3 ingredients, plus a little something extra for flavor. Here’s what you need:
- Avocado: This is a great way to use up any avocados that are getting overripe.
- Egg: The egg binds the ingredients together and helps the bread bake properly.
- Cheese: We like to use shredded mozzarella cheese but shredded cheddar cheese or even shredded pepper jack would be delicious!
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning or salt for a little extra flavor. This is up to you!

Expert Tips

Can these be frozen?
Yes you can freeze in zipbags and reheat in the microwave or toaster as needed.
Will cottage cheese work?
Hello,
What non dairy product could be used for binding?
try a flax egg!
It was OK. I do wish it said what size avocado to use.
I had a small one and it did not work as good and
there was to much cheese.
My Air fryer temp was to high.
I was not prepared for how delicious this is! I am also glad I read all the tips in the post. I used 1 egg white, and cheddar, omitting seasoning. About 3/4 through the air fryer they were firm enough to flip and toast the other side. A sprinkle of salt after. Amazing! I just had the best breakfast sandwich of my life! (and had to “store” the remaining piece in my tummy) These should come with a warning because they are that tasty
Sooooo good!! I try to eat more avocado but not a huge fan of it alone. These are so good and easy to make!!!
Can you fry it?
I’ve never tried frying it and I don’t know how it will hold up! It may work if it’s just lightly pan seared like a pancake.
I love this! It’s very good and very versatile. My question though is I wonder if I can make it in batches and freeze it. How would you thaw and/or reheat?
Delicious! Added Tabasco to batter. Sprinkled with Primal Palate.
This was really good!!! The avocado gives it some “ bread” texture, much better than just cheese & egg.
It was pretty good with tuna salad for lunch! ✅
Love this recipe. The only thing I will add is that the patties need to be turned over and baked on the other side.
Hi,
Are you sure about the calories/carb count posted? There is very little overall carbs in all 3 ingredients so curious how its 7 net carbs per serving…..even the entire recipe shouldn’t be that high. thanks
Thanks for pointing that out!! That was for the entire recipe. I’ve gone ahead and updated the results. It’s more like 1.5G per serving but 2 if you don’t subtract the sugar.
This is a great recipe! I amended this recipe by using egg whites, adding one cup of chopped kale, 1/2 cup sweet onion, and combined Asiago and Mozzarella cheeses. OMG! delicious and satisfying.
Can you substitute pre made guacamole cups instead of fresh avocados? And if so how many cups for one fresh avocado?
I haven’t tried it with fresh guacamole due to the lime and other additions but if you do try it, I would do about 1 cup of guac.
I have made this a couple times using the individual cups from Aldi. I use 1 cup and 1 egg, then about 1/2 the cheese called for in original recipe. They turned out fine. I have also kept some in the fridge a day or 2 before using… still good.
Taste delicious 😋 just made it.
It was good, I didn’t have shredded cheese only slice cheese so I improvised I slice two piece of cheese with a knife to get it small enough like shedded! I mixed in everything like you said! Was good but next I’ll do it with ranch dressing for dip!
First time trying wish I would’ve known about this recipe sooner
I used sharp cheddar cheese & everything bagel seasoning thats what I had laying around . This had Amazing flavor
look forward to trying different cheese variations in future
Great recipe. Thank you 🙂 I noticed that the macros say 721 calories for 1 bread. I am thinking it is safe to assume that the overall batch = that many calories. Looking forward to more awesome recipes!
Absolutely DELICIOUS! I LOVE avocado, so this is just another way for me to enjoy it! Such a healthy way to make a sandwich or top with scrambled eggs and cheese. Well done!!
Tried these today for my husband and they look amazing! Will see what his opinion is when he comes in for dinner!
Easy!
Can it be made in advance? Meal prep
I haven’t tried making it in advance and I don’t know how the avocado would hold up. Please let us know if you do try. Thanks!
Okydoky i will
Taste delicious 😋 just made it.
It was so easy to prepare and delicious. My family loved it!
I used my Airfryer for this . The bread was done in 11 mins… almost burned tthe 20 mins per instruction seem too long.
This was really easy and very yummy!!!! This is definitely going on my weekly rotation of meals
DELISH & EASY TO PREPARE TO MAKE I’m making a batch for someone as I type 🙂 I made scrambled egg sandwich the other day it was so good plus quite filling
Saw these made on Insta yesterday and just couldn’t wait to give these a try!
Simple to create and turned out really well. Tasty too, so I’ll definitely make these again 🙂
Thank you for sharing this fab recipe x
Thanks so much for sharing!!
Can you reheat them? If so how?
You can reheat in the oven, air fryer, or toaster just until warmed through.
CANNOT WAIT TO TRY THIS…YUM
Can’t wait to try. I am trying to change my way of eating and this sounds so good!
