Highlighted under: Light & Fresh
Early June, and I can taste summer in the air. I’ve started making this Everything Bagel Avocado toast as a quick breakfast after my morning runs. It’s so satisfying, and honestly, it feels pretty fancy for how easy it is. The crunch from the everything bagel seasoning paired with creamy avocado is everything I need to hop into the day. Plus, it uses ingredients I usually have on hand, which is always a bonus when I'm rushing in the mornings.
One sunny Saturday, I decided to switch up my brunch game and ended up with this Everything Bagel Avocado toast that knocked my socks off. I thought it could be a total flop, but the combination works so well. The creaminess from the avocado with that crunchy, garlicky bite from the seasoning is just what I need!
Next time, I might try adding a poached egg on top for a little protein kick. It'll probably make it even tastier. For now, it’s a go-to for busy mornings when I need something that doesn’t take a lot of thought but still feels special.
Why I Keep Making This
- So easy, it's almost embarrassing
- You probably have everything on hand already
- Avocado toast never gets old
- It's a great way to use that last half of avocado
What to Know Before Making Everything Bagel Avocado
When you're making this Everything Bagel Avocado toast, feel free to adjust the amount of seasoning to match your taste. I like a generous sprinkle, but if you're not a huge fan of strong flavors, start with a lighter hand. You can always add more later if you want a bigger kick.
Also, if you happen to have some fresh herbs lying around, like cilantro or chives, chop them up and sprinkle them on top. It adds a lovely freshness that feels so nice on this creamy toast. And if you're using old bread, don't worry, a little crunch might even give your toast a nice texture.
Ingredients
For the Everything Bagel Avocado
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Toast the Bread
Start by toasting your slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet, just until they're golden brown and crispy. If you’re using a skillet, you might want to drizzle a little olive oil on the bread before toasting for that extra richness.
Prepare the Avocado
While your bread toasts, grab your avocado. Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash it up a bit, but I like to leave some chunks for texture. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, mixing that in nicely.
Spread and Sprinkle
Once your toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado generously on each slice. Then sprinkle a good amount of that everything bagel seasoning on top. It sounds simple, but trust me, it makes a huge difference!
Serve Up
Slice the toast in half or leave it whole, whatever you prefer. Serve it immediately and enjoy! Honestly, it’s so good, it may be hard not to make a second batch right away.
Troubleshooting
If your avocado is browning quickly, try adding a little lemon juice to the mashed avocado to keep it bright green. If you find your toast is getting too hard in the toaster, it might just need a quick toast instead of a deeper one.
Sometimes the seasoning can be uneven. If it doesn't look as coated as you like after the first sprinkle, don’t hesitate to reapply. A second sprinkle really makes a difference. Honestly, I even go back for the leftovers on the plate once I finish!
Everything Bagel Avocado Variations Worth Trying
You can play around with additional toppings too. Sliced radishes or cherry tomatoes add a refreshing crunch and lovely color. If you really want to change it up, a soft-boiled egg on top takes this breakfast to a new level. Just make sure the yolk's still runny for that creaminess.
And if you're feeling adventurous, mash in some other ingredients with your avocado. A little feta cheese or a drizzle of sriracha gives it unexpected flavors. Just keep in mind, sometimes those additions can mask the comforting taste of the avocado, so balance is key.
Questions About Recipes
→ Can I use a different type of bread?
Absolutely! Any bread you enjoy will work. I’ve used sourdough before and loved it. Just watch the toasting time since it might toast differently.
→ What if my avocado isn't ripe enough?
You can try to mash it anyway, but it won't be as creamy. If it’s too hard, just give it a day to ripen on your counter. Honestly, I skip this half the time and just go with what I have.
→ Is everything bagel seasoning hard to find?
Not at all! Most grocery stores have it, or you can make your own mix with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion flakes. It’s super easy!
