Ingredients & Substitutions
Want to mix it up? Try these different ways to enjoy your breakfast avocado toast:
Avocado: Adds a creamy texture and heart-healthy fats. Use avocado mash for a smoother texture, or swap for guacamole for a zesty twist.
Cottage Cheese: Adds a mild flavor and grams of protein. Use fat-free cottage cheese for fewer calories, or blend it in a food processor for a whipped consistency.
Bread of Choice: Adds structure and crunch. Sourdough bread is best, but whole grain bread, wheat bread, or even white bread work great. For a low-carb option, try chaffle toast or sweet potato slices. You can also use gluten-free toast if needed.
Lemon Juice: Adds brightness and prevents browning. Swap for lime juice for a slightly tangier kick.
Toppings: Add extra flavor and texture. Try flaky salt, green onions, red onion, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
Extra Protein: Makes it more filling and balanced. Add a hard-boiled egg, fried egg, or Greek yogurt spread for even more grams of protein.
