Variations:
- Vegan Option: Skip the egg and add roasted chickpeas, sautéed mushrooms, or tofu scramble.
- Extra Creamy: Spread a layer of hummus or whipped feta before adding the smashed avocado.
- More Spice: Drizzle extra chili oil, add sliced jalapeños, or sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes.
- Protein Boost: Top with smoked salmon, turkey slices, or grilled halloumi.
- Toppings Ideas: Fresh herbs (dill, cilantro, or basil), microgreens, radish slices, sesame seeds, or everything bagel seasoning all pair beautifully.
- Storage: Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep the smashed avocado up to 4 hours in advance. Store it in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to slow browning. Toast the bread and cook the egg right before serving.
