Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Fork for mashing
  • Toaster or skillet
  • Spoon
  • Small bowl for toppings

Ingredients
  

For the Avocado Spread:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

For the Toast:

  • 2 thick slices artisan bread or sourdough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for toasting

Optional Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Microgreens or arugula
  • Feta cheese crumbles
  • 2 poached or fried eggs
  • Everything bagel seasoning

Instructions
 

Step 1: Toast the Bread

  • Start by toasting the bread slices until they become golden brown and crisp. You can use a toaster or toast them in a skillet with a small amount of olive oil or butter for extra flavor.
  • The toast should be crunchy on the outside but still slightly soft in the center.

Step 2: Prepare the Avocado

  • Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl.
  • Use a fork to mash the avocado until it becomes creamy but still slightly chunky.

Step 3: Season the Avocado

  • Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chopped herbs to the avocado. Mix gently until everything is well combined.
  • This simple mixture is the heart of the First Watch Avocado Toast Recipe.

Step 4: Spread the Avocado

  • Take the warm toasted bread and spread a generous layer of avocado mixture on each slice.
  • Do not be shy here. A thick layer makes the toast feel indulgent and satisfying.

Step 5: Add Toppings

  • Top the avocado toast with cherry tomatoes, red pepper flakes, or microgreens. You can also add a fried egg or poached egg for extra protein.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

  • Drizzle a little olive oil on top and add a final pinch of salt or seasoning.
  • Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
