- 75g ripe avocado
- Pinch of salt

How To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Avocado Toast
- Toast the bread: Toast the slice of bread until it is golden brown and crunchy to your liking.
- Mash the avocado: While the bread is toasting, scoop the avocado into a small bowl. Mash it gently with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Season and serve: Season the mashed avocado with salt (and a squeeze of lemon juice, if using). Taste and adjust. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the hot toast. Top with chili flakes, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt if desired. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
- How do I keep my avocado from browning? The best way is to not mash it ahead of time. Avocado oxidizes and browns very quickly once it’s exposed to air. Always mash it fresh, right before you plan to eat it. A squeeze of lemon juice also helps slow down the browning process.
- How do I get the best flavor? A final drizzle of high-quality, fruity olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top creates a “flavor bomb” that elevates the simple toast.
- What if my avocado is too firm? As an emergency fix, you can soften a slightly underripe avocado by microwaving it with the skin on for about 10-15 seconds. It’s not ideal, but it works in a pinch.
- What’s the best way to slice the toast? For a clean cut that doesn’t crush your beautiful creation, use a serrated bread knife.
What To Serve With Avocado Toast
This simple toast is a perfect light meal on its own, but it’s even better when topped with:
- A perfectly poached or fried egg
- A sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning
- A few slices of fresh tomato or smoked salmon
- Crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs
How To Store Avocado Toast
Store: Avocado toast is a dish that is meant to be eaten immediately. It does not store well, as the toast will become soggy and the avocado will brown. It is best to make only as much as you plan to eat fresh.

What kind of bread is best for avocado toast?
A sturdy, thick-sliced bread is best because it can hold up to the creamy topping without getting soggy. Sourdough, whole-grain, or a rustic country loaf are all excellent choices.
How can I make my avocado toast more interesting?
The possibilities are endless! Try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat, a drizzle of balsamic glaze for sweetness, or a handful of toasted seeds or nuts for crunch.
Is avocado toast healthy?
Yes, it can be a very healthy meal. Avocado is a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins. When paired with a whole-grain bread, it makes for a balanced and satisfying breakfast or lunch.
