    Why You'll Love this Avocado Tartine Recipe

    In California, particularly where I live, folks are pretty avocado obsessed. And why wouldn't they be? It's easy, healthy, and delicious!

    This crispy bread topped with avocado, cream cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and fresh, bright lime juice takes the traditional avocado toast and turns it into something lively and special. 

    Plus, it's endlessly adaptable. Add some crumbled cheese to the top (goat cheese or feta are great), some extra protein with a soft-boiled egg or smoked salmon, or add a little green onion for added freshness.

    You can eat it whenever - it's perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or as a snack. And it comes together quickly, so it's super easy to throw together last minute.

    • Bread Toasted sourdough bread is one of my greatest joys in life, but use whatever you like best.
    • Avocado
    • Cream Cheese This was tested with both whipped cream cheese and regular cream cheese. Both work great! 
    • Everything Bagel Seasoning If there's any part of this seasoning blend you don't like, swap it out for just a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of black pepper.
    • Lime Juice Swap this for lemon juice if needed.

    How to Make

    a piece of toast on a blue plate.

    Step One Toast your bread. You can do this in a traditional toaster, an air fryer, or you can toast your bread until crisp in a pan with a bit of olive oil.

    Toast spread with cream cheese on a blue plate.

    Step Two Spread the toast with cream cheese.

    The pit is removed from half of an avocado.

    Step Three Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit.

    Half of an avocado is shown thinly sliced in its skin.

    Step Four Using a kitchen knife or paring knife, create thin slices of avocado while it is still in its skin.

    Thin slices of avocado are scooped out of their skin.

    Step Five Scoop it out of the skin with a spoon.

    thinly sliced avocado is added to the toast with cream cheese.

    Step Six Fan the avocado over the bread topped with cream cheese.

    Lime juice is squeezed over the finished avocado tartine.

    Step Seven Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning and drizzle with fresh lime juice.

    Step Eight Serve!

    Variations and Substitutions

    • Want to make this vegan? You can drizzle the avocado with a bit of olive oil instead of the cream cheese, or use a vegan cream cheese substitute.
    • Try different types of bread to see what you like best. I made this on sourdough, and it was amazing, but feel free to try wheat bread, white bread, or whatever you like!
    • You can add extra tanginess with a bit of goat cheese or some spicy pickled onions. 
    • For added protein, try two halves of a jammy egg or make a salmon avocado tartine with a bit of smoked salmon or gravlax.
    • Want something a little more fresh? Add some sliced cherry tomatoes!
    • If you're looking for something spicy, try adding some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.

    How to Store Avocado Toast

    Fridge I recommend only making this avocado tartine when you are ready to eat it.

    After an avocado is sliced, it can turn brown fairly quickly. If you have leftover avocado, brush it with lime or lemon juice and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Freezer I do not recommend freezing this recipe.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    What is a tartine?

    A tartine is simply a slice of bread, often toasted, with a sweet or savory topping.

    Is avocado toast good for you?

    There are many different ways to determine whether something is good for you, but avocado itself contains potassium, fiber, and healthy fats. 

    To read more, check out this article from Harvard University detailing the nutrition profile of avocados.

    How can I eat avocados if I don’t like them?

    First, ensure your avocados are ripe before eating them and try them with a bit of lime juice and salt. If you find you still don’t like the flavor, you can try additional condiments, like hot sauce, fresh herbs, or spices. 

    But also… don’t force yourself to eat anything you don’t like. There’s no need. Just treat yourself well and eat what you actually enjoy!

    How to Serve

    This toast is fantastic for breakfast, lunch, brunch, or a snack.

    It's also wonderful for an appetizer! Just cut the toast into smaller pieces and add them to a platter to share.

    Here are some ideas for what to serve alongside:

    For breakfast or brunch, you can create a spread with savory and sweet offerings, like these roasted cherry tomatoes on the vine, a leek and squash quiche, and these delicious air fryer bananas that are perfect with yogurt or waffles.

    For appetizers that go well with avocado toast, try a burrata salad with balsamic glaze, or some almond pesto on little toasts, or this orzo pesto salad.

    Expert Tips

    • If you're having difficulty getting clean avocado slices, don't worry about it. Add the cut avocado to a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork, and use the smashed avocado instead! It's equally delicious.
    • For extra crispy, decadent toast, crisp it in a pan over medium heat with a bit of olive oil.
    • To pick the best avocado, it should yield to firm but gentle pressure. Avocados that are still hard could use a little time before eating.

      This avocado toast was absolutely delicious. I made it for Sunday brunch and it was wolfed down immediately. I decided to try garlic & herb cream cheese and it was delicious. Will make it frequently.

      I can eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My favorite is sourdough bread, but the best part is that any bread works with flavored cream cheese and avocado.

      Your idea of putting the everything but the bagel seasoning on this avocado tartine was a stroke of genius. It added just the right level of salt and crunchiness!
