Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 4 slices whole grain or sourdough bread (gluten-free bread works too)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes (75 g)
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (30 g)
  • 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (2 g)
  • ¼ cup microgreens or arugula (10 g)
  • 3 oz smoked salmon slices (85 g)
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced radishes (20 g)
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced (1 egg per toast)
  • Red pepper flakes or chili oil, to taste
  • ¼ cup small-curd cottage cheese (60 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat toaster or oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast 4 slices of bread until golden brown and crisp, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Mash with a fork until desired texture is reached, about 2 minutes.
  3. Spread about ⅓ cup (80 g) of mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toast, covering edge to edge.
  4. Add toppings as desired:
  5. a. Tomato & Feta: Scatter halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta over avocado. Sprinkle sea salt.
  6. b. Everything Bagel Style: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning and top with microgreens or arugula.
  7. c. Smoked Salmon & Radish: Layer smoked salmon slices and radishes. Add cracked black pepper.
  8. d. Egg & Red Pepper Flakes: Place sliced hard-boiled eggs and sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle chili oil.
  9. e. Cottage Cheese Cream: Mix cottage cheese into mashed avocado before spreading.
  10. Drizzle extra olive oil on top if desired and serve immediately for best texture.
  11. For meal prep, keep avocado mash and toppings separate from bread until serving to avoid sogginess.

Notes

Toast bread just before assembly for best crunch. Keep avocado mash and toppings separate from bread if prepping ahead to avoid sogginess. Add lemon or lime juice to avocado to prevent browning. Use fresh toppings for best flavor and texture.
