We included a tutorial below for how to make a Caprese avocado toast that is so delicious. You can chop tomatoes, or slice them thinly and add to avocado toast. We like to add fresh mozzarella too!

Sweet Potato Avocado Toast

Have you heard of sweet potato toast? Instead of using bread, you can thinly slice sweet potatoes in slabs and toast until they’re cooked through. Use the sweet potato pieces in place of bread for your avocado toast!

Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast

Smoked Salmon is another popular avocado toast topping. It’s great with capers and sliced red onions.

Avocado Toast with Honey

We love honey on avocado toast – especially hot honey! It’s great with cheese and fruit.

Avocado on Toast storage

Storing: Avocado toast does not store well at all. The bread gets soggy and the avocado will start to turn brown. We recommend enjoying it fresh.

Storing Ripe Avocados: Once your avocados are starting to get ripe, put them in the refrigerator. It will help keep them from getting too ripe!
