This Everything Bagel Avocado Toast is a simple and tasty breakfast or snack. Creamy avocado spread on hearty bread, topped with everything bagel seasoning—yum!
I love how quick it is to make! Just mash the avocado, spread it on the toast, and sprinkle some seasoning on top. Perfect for busy mornings or whenever you need a treat!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Bread: I recommend whole grain or multigrain bread for a hearty base. If you’re gluten-free, look for gluten-free bread options. Sourdough works great too for a tangy flavor!
Avocado: Use ripe avocados for the best creaminess. If you want a twist, try using guacamole instead! Just check for any additional seasonings in it.
Eggs: I love fried eggs on this toast for that runny yolk. If you prefer, poached or scrambled eggs are great alternatives. You can also skip the eggs for a vegan version by adding hemp seeds or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for that extra flavor.
Everything Bagel Seasoning: If you don’t have this on hand, make your own with a mix of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. You can also use a dash of Italian seasoning or even just salt and pepper!
How Do I Fry Eggs Perfectly for My Toast?
Frying eggs so the whites are set while keeping the yolks runny can be tricky. Follow these steps for success:
- Heat your skillet on medium. If it’s too hot, the eggs may cook too quickly.
- Add a teaspoon of olive oil or butter, letting it melt and coat the pan.
- Gently crack the eggs in, being careful not to break the yolks.
- Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when the whites are fully opaque, but the yolks are still jiggly.
- Optional: You can cover the pan with a lid for the last minute to help the whites firm up without overcooking the yolks.
Practice makes perfect, so don’t worry if it takes a few tries to get it just right!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious recipe takes about 10-15 minutes to prepare. It’s quick enough for busy mornings or whenever you’re craving a tasty treat!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Toast the Bread:
Start by toasting your slices of whole grain or multigrain bread until they are golden and crispy. You can use a toaster or place them in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Prepare the Avocado:
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash it up a bit, then add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Give it a gentle mix!
3. Spread the Avocado:
Once the toast is ready, take the mashed avocado and spread it evenly over each slice of toasted bread. Don’t be shy—make it nice and thick for creaminess!
4. Fry the Eggs:
Next, heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. When it’s hot, crack the eggs in and fry them until the whites are fully set, but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on the eggs for flavor.
5. Assemble the Toast:
Carefully place one fried egg on top of each slice of avocado-covered toast. Just look at that yolk—delicious!
6. Add Toppings:
Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the eggs and avocado. If you want, add a little dusting of smoked paprika or chili powder for a hint of smokiness. It will add an extra pop of flavor!
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Your Everything Bagel Avocado Toast is ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately and relish the delightful combination of creamy avocado, soft egg yolk, and crunchy seasoning. It’s a tasty treat you’ll want to make again and again!
Can I Use Whole Wheat Bread Instead?
Absolutely! Whole wheat bread is a great choice for additional fiber and nutrients. You can also experiment with other types of bread like sourdough or rye for different flavors.
What If I Don’t Have Everything Bagel Seasoning?
No problem! You can make your own mix with equal parts sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Alternatively, use any seasoning blend you enjoy, like Italian or paprika.
Can I Prep This Ahead of Time?
While the avocado toast is best fresh, you can prepare the mashed avocado and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a few hours. To prevent browning, add a splash of lemon juice before sealing!
How Can I Make This Dish Vegan?
To make it vegan, simply skip the eggs and add toppings like sliced radishes, cherry tomatoes, or a sprinkle of hemp seeds for extra texture and nutrition. You could also use store-bought vegan mayonnaise for added creaminess!
