Toast Recipes
for Any Occasion

As far as we’re concerned, there’s no wrong time to enjoy a scoop of guacamole atop a slice of warm toast. In fact, whether it’s morning, noon, or night, guacamole toast is the perfect healthy snack.

 

Don’t know where to start? The good news is that your guacamole toast toppings can be as simple or as complex as you like. There’s literally no wrong answer! Leftover ingredients repurposed to decorate delicious guac slathered on a toasted slice of bread? How about some fresh produce stacked on top? Why not let the guac shine and add a dash of spices or a sprinkle of herbs?

 

Plus, guacamole toast is simple to make, takes minimal preparation, and is customizable depending on your mood, time of day, and taste buds.

 

Here is some inspiration to enjoy this versatile snack throughout the day, from sunup to sundown.

 

 

Morning Fuel

Guacamole toast is the finest way to start your day. The next time you’re craving cream cheese and lox, include mashed avocado in the morning mix, as we did in these salmon and guacamole bagels. Wake up on a sweet note by piling your toast high with irresistibly sweet and mildly spicy Strawberry Pico Guacamole. Chocoholics will appreciate Chocolate Guacamole on top of a slice of eggy brioche.

 

Speaking of eggs, have you tried an open-faced guacamole egg sandwich? Start with two pieces of toast. Create a cozy green bed out of Classic Mexican Guacamole, and nestle your fried eggs into the mixture. Drizzle with hot sauce and dig in with a fork, knife, and napkin — it can get messy.

 

Afternoon Snack

When hunger strikes, it’s time to get creative. If you’ve got ripe avocados, a loaf of bread, and a little imagination, you’ve got a world of options.

 

Whatever leftovers you have from last night’s dinner may make an excellent guacamole toast topping. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and protein will complement guacamole’s smooth texture with a fresh addition. Some excellent choices are:

• Arugula
• Tomato
• Radish
• Rosemary
• Basil
• Deli meat
• Sliced hard-boiled egg

 

Once you’ve layered your ingredients, drizzle with your favorite sauces, such as balsamic vinegar, pesto, or hot sauce.

 

Midnight Snack

Guacamole toast always feels like a treat, but when the sun goes down, try adding some colorful fruits to your palette (and your palate). Dot your guacamole toast with fresh fruits such as:

• Blueberries
• Raspberries
• Pineapple
• Pomegranate seeds
• Mango

 

If you’ve got an evening sweet tooth, add a scoop of bitter dark chocolate chips, peanut butter, or hazelnut spread. Better yet, lightly drizzle chocolate syrup or honey over your guacamole toast (trust us, it tastes better than it sounds).

 

Variations of Guacamole Toast

Here’s a secret: You can’t go wrong with guacamole toast variations. The best flavors happen when you get creative. But if you’re asking for our top picks, we love eggs and salmon in the morning, veggies and deli meat in the afternoon, and fruit or nut butters when you need a sweet treat. Here are three simple and creative variations to level up your guacamole toast.

 

1. Morning Fuel: 2 smoked salmon slices + simple guacamole + 1 hard-boiled egg + fresh chives

This combo is like a lox bagel but better! Gauc replaces the cream cheese, and the fresh chives bring out the smoky salmon flavor.

 

2. Afternoon Snack: 2 roasted turkey slices + Authentic Guacamole + 1 tablespoon fresh cranberry sauce + arugula

Roasted turkey with fresh cranberry sauce makes the perfect salty-sweet combo, and the creamy avocado keeps things light and fresh.

 

3. Midnight Treat: 2 tablespoons Chocolate Guacamole + 1/2 cup sliced strawberries + honey drizzle

This sweet snack is easy to make and loaded with chocolatey, creamy goodness and a handful of fresh fruit.

 

Preparation Tips for Guacamole Toast

Preparing your guacamole toast is easy peasy, but arguably, the most critical step is choosing a ripe avocado. If you’d like a visual demo, check out this helpful video. But here’s your ripe avocado cheat sheet: The skin should be dark green to nearly black with a bumpy texture and should yield to gentle pressure without leaving indentations or feeling mushy.

 

Now, when it comes to the toastiness of the bread, a lot comes down to personal preference. If you prefer a light crispiness, pop your bread in the toaster or cast-iron skillet over medium to low heat and check every minute until golden brown. For some extra crunch, leave your bread cookin’ for a bit longer until you’ve achieved your desired color and consistency. Just be careful not to burn the bread.

 

Pro tip: Slather on a coat of butter before toasting your bread if you want some extra good flavor.

 

Benefits of Guacamole Toast

In addition to being delicious, avocados contain good fats and nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. One serving (50g) is also cholesterol-, sugar-, and sodium-free; plus, the fiber avocados contain is a key component for overall gut health and satiety. Not convinced?

Depending on your bread of choice (e.g., whole grain, seeded, or sprouted bread), your toast can also be a filling complex carb. Last but not least, depending on your guacamole toast toppings, you can load up on protein and rack in extra vitamins and minerals with ingredients like egg, fruit, veggies, and nuts.

 

The Guac-ibilities Are Endless

There are infinite ways to make guacamole toast all day long, and the nutritional benefits make it the perfect healthy snack. Be proud to pile yours high with your favorite foods, and remember: The only limit to guacamole toast is your imagination.
