Spring Brunch Avocado Toast (Printable)

A colorful avocado toast spread with fresh radishes, tomatoes, cheese, and seeds for an easy brunch.

# Ingredient List:

→ Bread

01 - 12 slices sourdough or multigrain bread

→ Avocado Spread

02 - 4 ripe avocados
03 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
04 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Toppings

06 - 6 radishes, thinly sliced
07 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
08 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
09 - 1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds
10 - 1/4 cup microgreens or baby arugula
11 - 4 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
12 - 1/4 cup pickled red onions
13 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
14 - 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
15 - Flaky sea salt, to taste
16 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
17 - Lemon wedges, for serving

# How To Make It:

01 - Toast bread slices in batches until golden and crisp. Arrange on a large serving board or platter.
02 - Halve, pit, and scoop avocados into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy but still slightly chunky.
03 - Spread a generous layer of avocado mash onto each toast, or serve in a bowl for guests to assemble their own.
04 - Arrange toppings—radishes, cherry tomatoes, cheeses, pumpkin seeds, microgreens, egg slices, and pickled onions—in small bowls or directly on the board.
05 - Drizzle olive oil over avocado toasts. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, flaky salt, and black pepper as desired. Garnish with microgreens or arugula and serve with lemon wedges.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent all morning cooking but actually comes together in under thirty minutes, which is the best kind of magic.
  • Everyone gets to customize their own plate, so nobody's left picking around things they don't like, and somehow that makes the whole meal feel more fun.
02 -
  • The avocado and lemon juice need to be mixed together immediately or the avocado will oxidize and turn an unappealing brown—it won't hurt the taste but it changes how appetizing it looks.
  • Toast your bread right before serving if you can; it stays crisp that way and doesn't get soft and sad from sitting with wet toppings.
03 -
  • Rub your warm toast with a cut garlic clove before spreading avocado if you want an extra layer of flavor that feels sophisticated but isn't fussy.
  • Buy your avocados a few days before if they're hard; they'll ripen perfectly by brunch day, and you'll avoid the panic of rock-hard fruit.
