Avocado toast is a fine base, but it's easy to make it more interesting (and more balanced) with a few additions.
1. Egg and chili flake
A soft-boiled or fried egg adds protein; a pinch of chili flake adds contrast to the richness of the avocado.
2. Tomato and olive oil
Sliced tomato, a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and flaky salt ... simple and very Mediterranean.
3. Feta and olive
Crumbled feta and chopped Kalamata olives turn toast into something closer to a Greek salad on bread.
4. Smashed chickpea and lemon
Mash chickpeas with the avocado for extra fiber and protein, then finish with lemon juice.
5. Radish and everything seasoning
Thin radish slices add crunch; an everything-bagel seasoning blend adds texture and flavor without much effort.
6. White bean and herbs
Lightly mash cannellini beans with lemon, parsley, and black pepper, then spoon them over the avocado for a creamy, plant-forward topping.
7. Roasted vegetables
Leftover roasted zucchini or peppers on top of mashed avocado turns toast into a more complete, vegetable-forward meal.
The base recipe
Toast whole-grain bread, mash half a ripe avocado with a pinch of salt and lemon juice, spread, then add your topping of choice.
