The Avocados
I also HAD to share this tip with you guys about avocados! I’m sure most of you guys already do this, but if you don’t then you should totally buy your avocados in bulk (much cheaper that way!) when they’re super green (not ripe). Put them in the produce drawer of your fridge and they can last for a long time! Like, weeks, people! It’s the best. Just take them out a few days before you need them, and they will be perfectly ripe just in time for this easy Avocado Toast recipe!
P.S: This avocado slicer will solve ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS. Not kidding!
The Bread
For this recipe, I used Ezekiel 4:9 Bread. This sprouted bread is my ABSOLUTE ALL TIME FAVORITE because it’s the “real” deal and is made completely of grains and legumes. I’ve used it in my French Toast and Gingerbread French Toast recipes, and love eating it in the mornings for breakfast or at lunch.
The Cheese
I used spreadable goat cheese in this avocado toast recipe. However, feel free to use a different kind of spreadable cheese, cashew cheese, or omit the cheese completely!
How to serve the Best Avocado Toast
I loved this Grilled Avocado Goat Cheese Toast open faced, but Cody likes to put a little bit of deli turkey and another slice of bread on his to turn it into a sandwich. Either way, it’s amazing!

Simple Avocado Toast FAQs
Do you put butter on avocado toast?
Nope, no butter needed here! The creamy avocado and tangy goat cheese give this toast all the rich, spreadable goodness you could want. Butter is more traditional for plain toast, but when you’ve got luscious avocado and flavorful goat cheese, butter takes a back seat!
Is avocado toast just guacamole on toast?
Not quite! While guacamole and avocado toast both feature avocado as the star ingredient, avocado toast is made with simple, fresh slices of avocado or mashed avocado on toast. It’s all about layering and adding fun toppings—like peppery arugula, juicy tomatoes, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in this recipe. Guacamole is more of a dip with lime, onions, and seasonings mixed in. Think of avocado toast as its own delicious thing!
