Choose the best bread and avocado
Pick small bread for easy bites
Use bread that is easy to cut into small pieces. White bread, wheat bread, or sourdough bread all work well. Thick bread is better because it holds the avocado without breaking. Cut the bread into small squares or small rounds. These shapes are easy to hold and eat. Make sure each piece is about the same size so they toast the same way.
Use ripe avocado only
A ripe avocado is soft when you press it. It should not feel hard or very mushy. When you cut it, the inside should be green and smooth. If it is brown, it is not fresh. Ripe avocado has a light nut smell and a creamy look. This makes your avocado toast bites taste rich and smooth.
Store avocado the right way
Keep uncut avocado at room heat until it is ripe. After you cut it, cover the open side with plastic wrap. Put it in the fridge. This keeps it from turning brown. Use it within one day for best taste. Cold air slows the color change and keeps the flavor fresh.
Choose simple tools
You only need a knife, a fork, a bowl, and a cutting board. These tools help you work fast and safe. A fork is best for mashing avocado because it makes a soft mix with small bits. A bowl keeps everything clean and easy to mix.
Prepare the bread base
Cut bread into small shapes
Place the bread on the cutting board. Use a knife to cut each slice into small squares or circles. Make sure the pieces are not too small. They should be big enough to hold toppings. Small shapes make the bites look nice and also cook fast in the toaster or pan.
Toast until light brown
Put the bread pieces in a toaster or on a pan. Toast them until they turn light brown. This makes them crisp and strong. Crisp bread keeps the avocado from making it soggy. Do not burn the bread. Burned bread tastes bitter and ruins the flavor.
Let bread cool a little
After toasting, let the bread sit for one minute. Hot bread can make the avocado warm and wet. Slightly cool bread keeps the topping fresh and firm. This step also keeps your fingers safe when you add the avocado mix.
Add light oil if you like
You can brush a little olive oil on the bread before toasting. This gives a soft crunch and more taste. Use only a small amount. Too much oil makes the bread heavy and greasy. A light brush is enough.
Make the avocado mix
Cut and scoop avocado
Cut the avocado in half. Remove the pit with a spoon. Scoop the green flesh into a bowl. Make sure no brown parts go into the bowl. Clean avocado makes a bright and fresh mix.
Mash with a fork
Use a fork to press and mash the avocado. Make it smooth but leave some small bits if you like texture. A smooth mix spreads well on bread. Do not use a blender. A fork gives better control and keeps the mix thick.
Add lemon juice and salt
Add a small squeeze of lemon juice. This keeps the avocado green and adds a fresh taste. Add a small pinch of salt. Salt makes the flavor strong and clear. Mix well so every part tastes good.
Mix until even
Stir the avocado, lemon, and salt until they are well mixed. Check the taste. Add more salt or lemon if needed. The mix should taste fresh and light, not too sour or too salty.
Add toppings for more flavor
Use fresh tomato
Cut tomato into small cubes or thin slices. Place one or two on each avocado toast bite. Tomato adds juice and sweet taste. Use ripe tomato for best flavor. Remove seeds if they are too wet.
Add boiled egg
Boil an egg and cut it into small pieces. Place one piece on each bite. Egg adds protein and makes the bite more filling. Use soft boiled or hard boiled based on what you like. Both work well.
Sprinkle herbs
Use fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Chop them into small bits. Sprinkle a little on top. Herbs add color and fresh smell. Do not use too much. A small amount is enough to lift the taste.
Add a little spice
You can add black pepper or chili flakes. This gives a warm and sharp taste. Use a very small amount so it does not overpower the avocado. Spice makes the bites more exciting.
Serve and enjoy for breakfast
Place on a clean plate
Put the finished avocado toast bites on a clean plate. Arrange them in rows or a circle. This makes them look nice and easy to pick up. A clean look makes breakfast feel special.
Serve right away
Eat the bites soon after making them. Fresh avocado tastes best when it is not left out too long. If you wait, the avocado may turn brown and lose its fresh taste.
Pair with drinks
Serve with tea, coffee, or juice. A warm drink goes well with the soft and crisp bites. A fresh drink like orange juice adds more energy to your breakfast.
Share with family
These bites are easy to share. Everyone can take one or two. This makes breakfast fun and friendly. You can also make more if you have many people.
Store and plan ahead
Keep avocado mix covered
If you have extra avocado mix, put it in a small bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap so no air gets in. Store in the fridge. This keeps it green for a short time.
Store toasted bread dry
Put extra toasted bread in a dry box or bag. Keep it at room heat. Dry bread stays crisp. Do not put it in the fridge because it can get soft.
Make fresh each day
Avocado toast bites taste best when fresh. Try to make only what you need. Fresh food has better taste and color. It also feels better to eat.
Plan toppings early
You can cut tomato, boil eggs, and wash herbs ahead of time. Keep them in the fridge. This makes it easy to make breakfast fast in the morning.
