What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Toast the Sourdough
Place the sourdough slices in a toaster and toast on a medium-high setting until deeply golden and crispy on the outside while still slightly chewy in the center.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt then mash with a fork to your desired consistency, leaving some texture.
Step 3: Assemble the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado generously over both slices of warm toasted sourdough, making sure to cover all the way to the edges so every bite has avocado.
Step 4: Season and Serve
Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over both pieces, add red pepper flakes for heat, and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve immediately before the toast softens.

Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using an underripe avocado that cannot be mashed smoothly and lacks the creamy flavor needed for this recipe
- Assembling the toast too far in advance which causes the bread to become soggy from the moisture in the avocado
