I prepare this toast often as it is one of my favorites and is an effortless breakfast or mid-day snack. Sometimes this avocado toast can even be served as a light meal. And during summer, I prefer such simple toasts when I really don’t feel like standing in my kitchen for long hours. This post is even in my cookbook. I really don’t know how I missed sharing it here. In India, Avocado is also known as butter fruit, Vennai pazham in Tamil, Venna Pandu in Telugu, Benne Hannu in Kannada, Makhanphal in Hindi, and Alpukat in Marathi.

What is avocado toast?

This is an open sandwich where mashed avocado is spread on the toast along with some salt, pepper, and lemon juice. The recipe for the toast is very flexible, and to enhance the flavor, you can add olive oil, red onion, pepper flakes, cilantro or coriander leaves, hummus, egg, chicken, crispy bacon, turkey, etc.

Avocado toast topping ideas

I can go on with topping ideas. The first best and easy one is guacamole.

Cafe Gitane Avocado Toast

A popular cafe in New York City (NYC) started this trend. The recipe is super simple - mash the avocado, spread a nice layer of mashed avocado on a toasted slice of bread, drizzle olive oil and lemon juice, add salt and red pepper flakes, and you are done.

Some topping ideas include

Some other interesting avocado toast recipes include

Greek Avocado Toast - Crumbled feta cheese with cherry tomatoes and lime juice on top of the mashed avocado. Sriracha Mayo Avocado Toast - Just drizzle some sriracha sauce on top of mashed avocado if you like a spicy kick in your sandwich recipe, and if you like it creamy, prepare sriracha mayo and drizzle it on top of mashed avocado. Loaded Avocado Toast - In a bowl, add finely sliced/julienned radishes, red onions or spring onions, and jalapenos. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix well. Spread mashed avocado on bread toast. Spread the topping over this and serve. Chicken Bacon Avocado Toast - Add shredded chicken breasts’ from the rotisserie and cooked bacon strips with some salt and cheese like provolone on top of mashed avocado. You can drizzle some mayo, mustard, or sriracha mayo if desired. Turkey Bacon Avocado Toast- Like chicken bacon avocado toast, except for chicken breasts, use turkey breasts.
