💬 Brief Introduction

Avocado toast is one of those magical meals that’s just as welcome at 8 a.m. as it is at 8 p.m. I love it because it’s totally customizable—some days it’s savory and filling, others it’s light and fresh. These 4 variations are the ones I make most often for me and my kids (yes, even my picky 8-year-old loves the egg version!). Whether you’re a brunch queen or just need a 10-minute healthy lunch, this one’s for you.

📸 Step-by-Step: Choose Your Style

🍅 1. Tomato + Feta

Fresh, juicy tomatoes pair beautifully with salty feta and creamy avocado.

🍳 2. Scrambled Egg + Herbs

A protein-rich twist that’s satisfying and great for post-workout fuel.

🌶️ 3. Radish + Red Pepper Flakes

Bright, peppery, and crunchy—ideal for when you want a light, spicy kick.

🍄 4. Sautéed Mushrooms + Basil

Earthy and umami-packed, perfect with a sprinkle of sea salt.

🧂 Ingredient Tips & Smart Swaps

  • Avocado:

    • Must be ripe—slightly soft with no brown spots.

    • Tip: A squeeze of lemon prevents browning.

  • Bread:

    • Whole grain for fiber and W-W friendliness

    • Sourdough for tang and crisp texture

    • Gluten-free? Use your favorite certified GF bread.

  • Toppings:

    • Add a poached egg for extra protein and healthy fats.

    • Vegan? Skip the egg and feta—add hummus or sprouts instead.

🍽️ Serving Ideas & Meal Variations

  • Brunch Boards: Serve all four styles on a platter for a DIY brunch bar.

  • Mini Toasts: Use small slices for appetizer-sized bites.

  • Avocado Toast Bar: Great for W-W meetings, baby showers, or weekend brunch.

🗃️ Storage & Make-Ahead

📦 Storage

  • Avocado oxidizes fast—best to mash fresh each time.

  • Leftover toppings can be stored in separate containers in the fridge for 2–3 days.

🕒 Make-Ahead Tips

  • Prep toppings like mushrooms, eggs, or tomatoes ahead and reheat quickly.

  • Keep avocado whole until serving to preserve freshness.

📝 Kristy’s Note

This toast is my weekday lifesaver. It fuels me through coaching calls, school drop-offs, and recipe testing. It’s just so versatile—you can dress it up, keep it clean, or feed a crowd with just one avocado. Plus, my kids love customizing their own slices, so it’s a win-win in my kitchen.
