Healthy avocado toast is super easy to make and makes the perfect addition to any breakfast or an anytime snack!
Avocado toast has become my new favorite breakfast/snack. It’s healthy, simple, and delicious and best of all, it’s super easy to make and ready in under 5 minutes. In fact, this recipe is so simple we can hardly call it a recipe, but I had to share it with you because of how good it is!
This recipe is for simple avocado toast but the possibilities are endless. Sometimes we like to zest up the avocado toast and top it with tomatoes, bacon, beans, jalapeno, spinach, salmon, or pretty much anything else!
To begin, simply toast your bread; You can use any kind of toast or sliced bread you have but I like to use crusty bread or whole grain toast. Next, mash an avocado in a small bowl with a fork. Add cilantro, lime, and salt + pepper then spread the mixture on the toasted slice of bread. Sprinkle with pepper flakes and serve!
If you’re having it for breakfast go ahead and top the avocado with an egg cooked any way you like. Our favorite is a sunny side up but poached, scrambled or even hard-boiled also works well.

I am floored with the utter disrepect yall have for avocado toast as someone with extremely low blood pressure the added salt helps me to not pass out from all these horrid comments. Thank you so much for making an equitable meal that helps out part of the population that isn’t always seen… AS FOR THE REST OF YOU, GUYS U SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES FOR NOT BEING EQUITABLE
Yeah, SO many trolls on here! Some of you people need to go get a life, rather than trolling for sites where you can demonstrate your lack of civility and intelligence.
I DO wonder about the sodium content listed for variation with eggs. An egg only has about 62 mg of sodium, and an avocado only has about 10 mg, so that listing seems awfully high… But very grateful for the ideas! I’m new to avocados, and everyone in the house likes them, so I think this will go over well as a not-too-heavy meal (planning on adding a soft-boiled egg & crumbled bacon on top).
@Steve – Excited to try this on a honey wheat bagel, too. Sounds delish!
We really enjoyed this recipe, with ours we just added salt, pepper, and oregano. It was delicious even though we used white bread. 😋🍞🧂🥑
This is such a good recipe. I loved it and lime juice is good for this recipe.
I have recently become aware of “avocado toast” after almost 60 years on this planet., and I must say that I am hooked. I’d like to share my version. I use bagels. I toast them in a bit of olive oil in a fry pan. Halve the bagels and toast them face down with a lid on. The top will be crunchy and the rest of the bagel will be nice and soft. Mash avocado and mix in lemon juice and sea salt. Spread on bagel and top with pepper flakes. Yummy.
So happy to hear that, Steve!
I agree with DR. ELLIE IVERSON! A creatyove, imaginative chook will add or subtract ingredients according to one’s taste.
A more positive way to make the statements would be to say, “I don’t like …, I prefer to ….”
I drizzle balsamic glaze on the sandwich.. It is especially delicious if you have included an egg.
That sounds delicious!
Yeah avocado toasts are the best my kiddos and wife love these too it’s great that it’s healthy and delicious
Really yummy! I added minced garlic, a bit of chili powder and minced onion to the mashed avocado. Delicious 😋

I cut a torta bread in half and browned it under the broiler. I put one serving of avocado mix (made per recipe except I omitted the salt)) on one half of the bread. I put a lightly cooked egg on the other bread, and sprinkled fresh ground pepper and cilantro over all. So simple and so delicious! I have heard of “Avocado Toasts”, but never tried it. Yum!
I have high blood pressure, too. Fortunately, I am not a salt addict, and, for me, this was fine without the added salt.
Also, someone might want to refigure the sodium. When you look at the sodium in the individual ingredients, it’s not that much even with the added salt.
watching boomers fight in the comments over toast made my day
i added finely chopped onion tomato and cumin powder to the avocado .. it was yumm!! what a flavor burst .. i also applied some butter on my bread after toasting them and then followed by the avocado mixture
My first time making avocado toast!
It tastes amazing. I am now hooked.
This recipe is the BEST! Substituted cilantro with coriander leaf, add a bit of chopped onions & olive oil. YUUM! 😋
Yum! in the U.S cilantro is actually coriander leaf. Only the dry version is called coriander but it’s all the same regardless 😉
I hope that you’ve learned by now that cilantro & coriander are the same thing 😭
cilantro is the name for the plant’s leaves and stem and coriander is the name for its dried seeds.
Good to know. I appreciate the information. I’m just getting into watching the things I eat for a healthier lifestyle. There is so much information out there on one topic it’s hard to say what’s true or not. Please share any information you have about ant product that’s beneficial to me
Jas become family favourite..NOw i have to buy avocados eveytime i go to the market. Tqvm for the healthy recipe.
Waaay too much sodium for me.
You can adjust the salt to taste!
Love this recipe and so do my kids. They go crazy for it. We already eat a lot of eggs so we eat it spread on a good quality toasted bread for lunch. Simply delicious ! Thanks
My kiddos love avocado toast as well!!
As a teen cook this was such an amazing fast easy recipe right before school I’m a vegetarian football player of 8years and love this to help give me the energy throughout the day thank you so much!!
This is great but I had no cilantro and forgot the pepper flakes… lol was really good. I did put coconut oil in the pan, fried the egg.. meantime mixed the avocado and stuff together. After removing the egg from the pan, I had a tad more coconut oil and threw my slice of bread in there and browned both sides OMG fantastic. I wish I could post a pic! Try this you will not be disappointed!!
Healthy? One serving with an egg contains almost half of the recommended daily sodium intake and 2/3rds of cholesterol.
Avocados are a healthy source of fat and for the egg, you can use egg whites if you’d like and season to taste.
Stop being a hater Kathryn its not cute. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe!
I agree with Johana. If you don’t like or want some ingredient, just substitute it with something more preferable to you, or just find another recipe. There’s no need to be negative about a RECIPE, for heaven’s sake. I’m sure there are many other things you can find to complain about elsewhere.
Layla, thanks for the great recipe! I’ve made it both ways, and they’re equally luscious – we just cut back our fat intake for the rest of the day. Our whole family loves this simple breakfast – and it’s now our favorite snack as well! 😉
Hey Dr Ellie, why don’t you do something useful like helping covid patients. Berating people on a food chat is pretty low. Be better, Lady doc.
I’m just watching these people fight over Avocado toast while eating it
Johanna, you’re a loser. The woman didn’t hate anything, but she should hate your stupid comment. And the Dr too. Idiots.
you sound like you have an ED….
I don’t t think that’s totally accurate. I googled nutrition value if an avocado and it was a lot different and it has good fats but you do have to watch the calories and eat with a workout routine… if you plan on eating a lot of it lol… look into it. 😊
Only a small percentage of cholesterol goes into your blood stream, read about eggs
This is extremely healthy

A delicious breakfast I followed the recipe to the letter and decided on fried eggs, but if you want extra kick top with Tobasco sauce gives it that extra heat that I love
I’m so glad I tried this RECEIPE for breakfast. It was delicious. I’ve ADded minced garlic to the AVOCADO mix. The toast and egg complimented the creamy AVOCADAo.
SOOOOO GOOD!
Loved the addition of cilantro you suggested. I sprInkle mine with Pop zest’s Olive Oil snd herb nutritionAl yeast seasoning for added b-vitamins & proteiN. Yummy 😋
I love avocado toast. My recipe is avocado mashed I bowl with lemon juice, garlic POWER, onion flakes, hot pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Spread thick on toasted bread of MY choice. It’s delicious. I don’t like eggs so I omit those.
Lime does not add a “salty taste”… It’s sour, slightly sweet. Completely different.
We use lime to replace salt!
SALTY, ROB? Maybe YOU HAVE TOO MUCH MARGARITA
EXPERIENCE.
I also eat this toast with pickled veggies
grt idea. thnx for sharing. wud try it.
What pickled vegetables do recommend I’m new and looking to try some thing new. Thanks in advance
Mmmmmmmmm…so delicious!
Made it for breakfast this morning…will definitely make again
Can you make the spread ahead of time then reuse it for a few mornings during the week?
You can but the avocado will brown at the very top. You can try covering it tightly with a thin layer of plastic wrap. I would suggest making it fresh daily.
I’ve found that if you cover the remaining avocado half with lemon juice ( and more is better than less) then wrap it in Saran Wrap) and refrigerate it will keep until the next day. I wouldn’t go longer than that. If there is a tiny bit of brown on it, I just scrape it off. It’s good on a bagel, too. And try it with some parmesan cheese, as well. I’ll be trying some of these other suggestions that sound so good, too.
Also, saving the half with the pit still inside and not removing it helps it keep in the fridge without browning as well.
Avocados do not have seeds, they have pits.
Ok
Half an egg per serving… Really?
It’s 1 egg per serving.
I made this yesterday for brunch and it was so delicious. I sauteed fresh, herbal seasoned mushrooms and topped them with it. It was heavenly! I would have to keep avocados out of my house to avoid eating this everyday. Loved it!! Thanks for the recipe!
I have high blood pressure. Is this too much salt intake?
I would adjust the salt and pepper to taste or omit the salt all together because the lime adds a salty taste.
No its not, avacoda is fine but dont have any extra salt and maybe dont add garlic🤗
I have high blood pressure and the nastiness on this simple offering of various recipes has shot mine to the moon! What is wrong with you? And you do know who you are….
Wow, holy crap!! Is all this nastiness because we’ve pretty much been living without “normal companionship” due to Covid? Last thing I expected coming on a recipe site!
I came here to see what variations I can try. I was at a friend’s the other morning and she asked if I was hungry and did I like Avacado toast. She was floored when I responded that I’ve never tried it. Her way of making it was on rye bread, lime and a wee bit of S&P then after she put the avacado on the toast she sprinkled some toasted sesame seeds and poppy seeds. Was very delish. I usually end up skipping breakfast, but I got the stuff to make it at the store today, can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow morning!
It’s so easy and will become a go-to!
I did it yesterday !!
So delicious 😉
Keep up the good work
In Delhi Can u tell from where I can buy avocado .
Thanks
Hi Neelam, I’ve never been to Delhi so I can’t really tell you where to purchase the avocados from or if they are even sold there, but I suggest you check your local fruit market. Best of luck!!
Is this a joke!
I think it was a joke. India di not prOduce avaCado or import.

It’s easily available in local markets. Ask for butterfruit. If not the high end grocery stores definitely have it stocked up.
U can buy it from reliance
