Easy Avocado Toast 3 Ways

Prep Time 5 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 3 slices sourdough bread
  • 1½ ripe avocados
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp chili oil
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 tbsp everything but the bagel seasoning
  • ¼ cup diced cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp hot honey for drizzling
  • Flaky salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Toast the bread. Pop the slices into a toaster, or — better — heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and pan-toast each slice 2 minutes per side until deeply golden.
  • Mash the avocado. Halve the avocados and remove the pits. Squeeze half an avocado onto each slice of toast and mash it directly on the bread with a fork until it covers the surface. Season each with a pinch of flaky salt and a few cracks of black pepper.
  • Cook the egg (for toast #1). Heat a splash of oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl until uniform. Once the pan is hot, pour in the eggs and immediately swirl the pan so they coat the surface. Use a spatula to gently push the set edges toward the center while tilting the pan, letting any uncooked egg run to the edges. The whole thing takes under 60 seconds. Slide it onto the first toast and drizzle with chili oil.
  • Build toast #2. Spoon cottage cheese onto the second toast and shower it generously with everything but the bagel seasoning.
  • Build toast #3. Top the third toast with diced cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta. Finish with a thin drizzle of hot honey.
  • Plate and serve. Slice each toast in half on the diagonal and arrange on a board or platter. Serve immediately with a side of fresh fruit, a hot coffee, and a tall glass of water.

Notes

  • Make-ahead for Mother's Day: the avocado will brown if mashed more than 15 minutes ahead. What you can prep in advance: pre-toast the bread (re-crisp briefly when serving), dice the tomatoes, crumble the feta, measure the seasonings into small bowls. Mash the avocado last; the actual building takes 3 minutes once you start.
  • Best bread: a sturdy sourdough with an open crumb. Avoid soft sandwich bread.
  • Keep avocado green: a small squeeze of lemon juice on the mashed avocado holds the color and adds a bright note.
