Recipe Notes and Tips
- Use ripe avocados that give a little when you squeeze them gently. When they are underripe, they are harder to mash and the flavor is not as rich.
- Mash the avocados by hand. Don’t be tempted to use a food processor as this will make them too mushy.
- Add a little bit a lemon juice. This will help slow down the browning process of the avocado.
- Add seasoning. Taste the mashed avocado before using and adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Add in Garlic. Rub raw peeled garlic clove over top of each slice of toast before spreading the avocado mixture.

Recipe FAQs
To keep this breakfast gluten-free, I like to use my favorite gluten-free bread. I use fairly thick slices to support the toppings. If you aren’t sensitive to gluten, you can use your favorite bread, the nuttiness, and texture of whole grain work really well.
It’s best not to make the avocado topping too far ahead of time as it can start to turn brown. If you are planning on making it ahead, be sure to add in the lemon juice as this will help to slow the process. You can keep it covered in the fridge for up to a day.
Place the cut avocado with the flesh-side down in a bowl half full with water, cover, and place in the fridge. This will keep the avocado from turning brown for about another two days.
