Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Avocado Toast
  1. Begin by toasting two slices of your chosen bread until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a toaster or broil in the oven for 1-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  2. While the bread is toasting, cut your large avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mash together with a fork until creamy with a few small chunks for texture.
  3. Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture on each slice. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley.
  4. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and mozzarella, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and finish with basil.
  5. Add diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice and add radish slices on top.
  6. Spread cream cheese over the toast, follow with avocado, layer smoked salmon, cucumber rounds, and capers. Sprinkle dill on top.
  7. Cook crispy bacon and fry sunny-side-up eggs. Place bacon on top of the avocado toast, followed by the eggs.
  8. Spread cream cheese on toast, add avocado, and sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion flakes.
