Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Toasting

1 French loaf (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove (whole, for rubbing)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Avocado Spread

4 hass avocados
1 garlic clove (minced)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Option 1: Eggs

Cooking spray
2 eggs
2 teaspoons Everything Bagel Seasoning

Option 2: Tomato Basil

¼ cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh basil
Salt in flakes, to taste

Option 3: Feta and Olives

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup olives (halved)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the Bread: Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Arrange the thinly sliced French loaf on a baking sheet and brush each slice with olive oil. Rub a whole garlic clove over the surface of each piece to infuse a subtle garlic flavor. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the bread is golden and crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Make the Avocado Spread: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until chunky but spreadable. Mix in minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Toast Base: Spread the prepared avocado mixture evenly over each toasted bread slice.
Option 1 – Cook Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preferred doneness. Place cooked eggs on top of the avocado-spread toast and sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
Option 2 – Prepare Tomato Basil: Toss halved cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt. Spoon the dressed tomatoes over the avocado toast, add fresh basil leaves, and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
Option 3 – Add Feta and Olives: Top the avocado toast with crumbled feta cheese and halved olives. Sprinkle with oregano and drizzle olive oil over the top before serving.

Notes

For creamier avocado spread, gently mash longer or add a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Customize toppings based on preference; these three options can also be combined.
Use day-old bread for best toasting results and crunch.
Store leftover avocado spread covered tightly in the fridge for up to one day.
Adjust salt and seasonings to taste, especially when using salty toppings like feta and olives.
