My favorite breakfast is so cliché. Do I look like I care?!

Oh dear, sweet avocado toast.

Avocado toast, you are so pleasing to the eye and the tummy. With endless possibilities, you get my day started with a punch of protein and fiber. The crunch and chew of toasted bread topped with creamy smooth avocado forms the canvas upon which so many fabulous combinations of foods ought to be situated.

So you've become a bit of a cliché. It won't keep me away dear friend. I've loved you since Alton Brown announced that his favorite sandwich was avocado toast topped with sardines and parsley. I ate that sandwich more times than I can count when I was an impoverished graduate student.

And continue to do so to this very day.


Here's my all time favorite, typically for breakfast:

  • Two slices of toasted multigrain seeded bread
  • Half to 2/3 of a perfectly ripe avocado
  • A few shakes of chili lime seasoning (or tajin if you have it)
  • A few shakes of everything bagel seasoning (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, salt, and onion)
  • 2 fried eggs
  • Several spritzes of fresh lime juice

With a big cup of iced coffee, this really can't be beat.

One of my go-to favs! Gotta love avocado!

Oh i love this meme! And my heart is ever true to avocado. and avocado toast. 4E.

I love avocado toast!! It is seriously the best breakfast ever. Thanks for sharing.

Breakfast lunch OR dinner, but especially breakfast. Avocado toast lovers unite! (And take no cliche shame!)

Hahaha! Yeah who cares about cliches. Avocados are worth the shame.

Same here - I 'heart' avocado too. Do you sometimes wonder who invented avocado toast? I wonder about that all the time, lol

Something tells me it's been around a lot longer than it has been a 'big deal' at hipster places....
Either way I am a big fan.

Love avocado toast ... thanks for the reminder!

You are quite welcome! Now the hard part is waiting for those avocados to be perfectly ripe!

true that!

This is the main reason why I surrounded my house with avocado trees as soon as I moved in lol. Avocado, Papaya, mangoes, guavas, cashews, and every edible herb known to man, except the funny waky tabaki because I do not want my cop friends to have to put cuffs on me one day when they come hang out, besides the point that I do not have any requirements for it in food, and if I smoked it or ate it I would probably lose my mind, and a mind is a terrible thing to waste or something. 😂😂😂

Ah you've got it made! I love it! I wouldn't be able to get away from my backyard if I were in your shoes!!

I've never had avocado on toast before. I enjoy avocado but usually just pair it with Mexican dishes. I do like egg sandwiches though. My husband thinks it's gross but I put a little butter on the outside and a little mayo on the inside of the toast for my egg sandwich. It's something my great-grandmother had me eating as a kid. :)

Oh girl you've got to have it! I might be with your hubs on the mayo/bread/butter thing --- but i think mayo is the one food in life that I have issues with. I totally know though how special foods you grew up with taste good or better than anything else... :)

Boyy I'm salivating over this! Avocado, eggs, toast, seasonings, and lime juice for that little bit of acidity...all those favourite flavours playing on my dreamy tongue =))

Such a great combo- i think that's why I keep making the same thing over and over. I hardly ever repeat recipes but this quick breakfast is a standard for me. Thanks girl!

When you find a winner, it's gotta be a keeper and repeater :))
