7 Avocado Toast Variations Worth Making

Avocado toast is a fine base, but it's easy to make it more interesting (and more balanced) with a few additions.

1. Egg and chili flake

A soft-boiled or fried egg adds protein; a pinch of chili flake adds contrast to the richness of the avocado.

2. Tomato and olive oil

Sliced tomato, a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and flaky salt ... simple and very Mediterranean.

3. Feta and olive

Crumbled feta and chopped Kalamata olives turn toast into something closer to a Greek salad on bread.

4. Smashed chickpea and lemon

Mash chickpeas with the avocado for extra fiber and protein, then finish with lemon juice.

5. Radish and everything seasoning

Thin radish slices add crunch; an everything-bagel seasoning blend adds texture and flavor without much effort.

6. Smoked salmon

Smoked salmon, avocado, and a squeeze of lemon on whole-grain toast covers healthy fats and omega-3s in one plate.

7. Roasted vegetables

Leftover roasted zucchini or peppers on top of mashed avocado turns toast into a more complete, vegetable-forward meal.

The base recipe

Toast whole-grain bread, mash half a ripe avocado with a pinch of salt and lemon juice, spread, then add your topping of choice.
