Whether it’s starting your day, enjoying a light lunch, or having a simple supper, buttery avocado and crunchy toast are already a fabulous combination, but why stop there? Our 24 ideas for avocado toast toppings with a twist add extra ingredients that boost the flavour, and often the health and nutritional benefits of this easy meal.
1. Raspberry, Cream Cheese and Chia
Let’s start with one you haven’t thought of before!
The creamy goodness of avocado and cream cheese, combined with the tart taste of raspberries and a hint of crunch from chia seeds, makes this an ideal combination for a boujee breakfast.
2. Crispy Bacon and Chives
If it’s not breakfast without bacon, this is your dish! Grill a slice of bacon until it’s crispy, then crumble it on top of that goey green layer to add a pop of flavour.
A sprinkle of fresh chives on top not only looks great but also adds a hint of onion flavour that ties everything together – plus it increases your plant points, as herbs and spices all count toward the 30 different plant foods you should aim for each week.

3. Feta and Pomegranate Delight
Feta and pomegranate on avocado toast is a match made in heaven. Crumbled creamy feta adds a salty kick, while pomegranate seeds bring a burst of sweetness and crunch – plus, each one bursts with vitamin C. It’s a quick way to elevate your brunch game and impress your friends!
Top Tip: Use ready-popped pomegranate seeds (also known as rubies) to save time. Alternatively, if you have a whole pomegranate, check out our recipe for Nature’s Cereal, which offers a delicious idea for using the rest.
4. Surf and a Schmear
How good does this look? But, which will you add to the toast first, smooth cream cheese, or creamy avocado? Whichever you pick, top things off with a sprinkle of fresh prawns.
5. Tomato and Basil Medley
Tomato and basil make a fantastic, fresh combo for avocado toast. Not only do ripe juicy tomatoes taste great with avocado, but the healthy fats that avocado contains help you absorb health-boosting lycopene in the tomatoes. Add basil for an extra flavour pop – and another one of those essential plant points!
6. Egg-cellent Ideas
Did you know that eggs contain a whopping 13 different nutrients? Add that to all the goodness in avocado and pop both on top of whole-grain or dark bread, and you have a nutrient-packed combination of carbs, fat, and protein that will keep you full for ages.
So, what options are there? Try a classic poached egg, or keep things creamy with some fluffy egg salad. A fried egg also pairs brilliantly with the toast, or slice a perfect boiled egg on top.
7. Spice Girl
Spice up your avocado toast with a drizzle of Sriracha and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. The heat from the Sriracha pairs perfectly with the creamy avocado, adding a tasty kick to your meal. Top it off with sesame seeds for a fun crunch and extra flavor!
Healthy Note: If you’re watching your sodium, Sriracha is pretty high in salt. One tablespoon contains 115mg – if you’re on a low-sodium diet, use it sparingly.
Why Is Avocado Good For You?
Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados may help support heart health by improving cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation. Avocados are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including potassium (they have even more than bananas), vitamin K, vitamin E, and B vitamins, all of which contribute to overall health and well-being. Their high antioxidant content—particularly lutein and zeaxanthin—supports eye health, while their low sugar content makes them a smart choice for managing blood sugar levels.
A 50g serving of avocado contains 75 calories.
8. Mango & Chill
While we’re getting spicy, mixing sweet mango with spicy chilli flakes is a fantastic choice for avocado toast. The juicy mango adds a tropical twist, while the chilli flakes give it a nice kick.
If you’re feeling the need for an extra dose of protein, then serve it with an extra dollop of cottage cheese or ricotta, or add fresh prawns.
9. Pseudo-Sushi
Avocado and tuna mayo isn’t just the perfect combination in a sushi roll – it also makes a fantastic, protein-packed lunch.
Add a little red onion and spinach to increase your plant points.
10. Black Beans and Lime
Black beans and avocado make a winning combination in dishes like burritos, but if you thought they couldn’t work on toast, this can prove you wrong.
Crush, warm black beans with a bit of cilantro and lime juice – then layer them on top, or under, the avocado. Try both and see which is best – it’s like the new ‘should you put the jam or cream first’ on a scone for tea!
11. Kimchi Combo
Your gut will love this combination. As we mentioned in our guide to why avocado might trigger bloating, the green good stuff is already known to help raise the number of bacteria in the gut, and you can help increase that further by topping your toast with a spoonful of spicy kimchi. As a fermented food, kimchi contains natural bacteria that boost microbiome diversity.
12. Mushroom D-Light
Fry sliced mushrooms in a little olive oil and garlic, then pile them on top of your avo-toast for a vegan-friendly meal that will thrill your tastebuds.
Power Up Tip: For an extra nutrient boost, put your mushrooms in the sun for an hour before eating – exposure to UV rays helps increase vitamin D content in the mushrooms. Even on a cloudy day, button mushrooms left in bright light for 15 minutes showed an increase in their D content of up to 30 per cent – an hour had an even greater effect.
13. Egg and Prosciutto
Twice the taste and double the protein. Choose your egg poached, boiled and sliced, or even fried – the world is your oyster. Then top it all with slices of juicy prosciutto.
14. Crunchy and Creamy
The quickest makeover ever. Sprinkle some toasted pepitas or pumpkin seeds on top of your avocado-topped toast for a taste shake-up. A quick turn of a pepper grinder finishes the dish.
15. Tomopen-Sesame
Give the classic avocado and tomato combination an upgrade by adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Despite their size, these pack a decent nutritional punch – particularly when it comes to lignans and phytosterols, both of which might play a role in lowering cholesterol.
16. In a Pickle
It might not be a great choice for breakfast, but if you’re looking for a zingy avo-based lunch or dinner, topping your green toast with sliced pickled onions is a taste sensation. If you don’t have them pickled, you could also add slices of our Grilled Balsamic Glazed Red Onions.
Best Breads For Avocado on Toast
Choosing the right bread can also enhance the health benefits of your avocado toast. Wholegrain breads, or dark breads like rye, contain extra fibre and antioxidants that boost the nutrition in your dish and help keep you full for longer. But don’t discount sourdough, it has a higher glycemic index than other types of white bread, so again it will keep you fuller for longer.
17. Smoked Salmon and Dill
It’s too classic for a pun – and it’s a classic for a reason. It tastes good. And, with double the healthy omega-3 fats, it’s a treat your body will love in more ways than one.
Healthy Note: Don’t forget that, while avocados contain the ALA form of omega-3, EPA and DHA, the forms found in oily fish like smoked salmon are more easily utilised by your body and brain.
18. Sliced Strawberries
Avocado is a fruit, so you shouldn’t be surprised that this combination goes so well. Adding a hint of mint elevates the taste a notch further.
Other fruits that pair well with avocado toast include sliced apples, pears, or peaches.
19. Beetroot Beauty
If you want a meal that looks as dramatic as it tastes, pick this mix of contrasting colours and conflicting flavours. Deep, earthy beetroot blends beautifully with creamy, soft avocado. Either use beetroot slices, or try a spoonful of beetroot dip or beetroot hummus.
20. Anchovies and Lemon
Anchovies are not just for pizza; their salty tang complements creamy avocado perfectly. Squeeze on a little lemon to add some extra zing.
21. Cottage Cheese, Honey and Crushed Nuts
Pile ’em on, stack ’em high – the perfect mix of crunch, sweetness and creamy goodness. This will satisfy every craving in one go – and keep you full for hours.
22. A Taste of the Sun
Get a taste of sunny days and sea views with a Mediterranean-inspired combination of pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes. All it needs is a glass of red wine on the side – although maybe not for breakfast.
23. Parmesan and Bacon Crumbles
Crumbled bacon is delicious with avocado; we’ve used it twice, and this time, it comes with extra cheese. But not any old cheese – instead, add a sprinkle of fresh grated Parmesan to give your meal an extra kick of the fifth taste – umami. Umami enhances the other flavours in a meal, making this combination one you won’t forget in a hurry.
24. Hallo- me!
Quick and easy. Grill or pan-fry slices of halloumi and place them on top of your toast. Simples.
