Cherry Tomato Avocado Toast

Learn one of my favorite ways to eat avocado toast that requires just 15 minutes and 6 ingredients!

The combination of tomatoes and avocado is nothing new, but that is what makes this recipe so great. It is vibrant, fresh, and made with only 6 ingredients! Adding jammy cherry tomatoes on top of buttered rustic bread with avocado, lemon zest, and salt flakes is an easy way to up your breakfast game. The lemon zest is key as it adds a nice tang to the toast!

Why do I love this recipe? Well, this toast provides the “wow” taste factor and great nutrition benefits. Avocados are full of healthy fats and fiber that increase satiety, while tomatoes are rich in antioxidants that help boost your immune system. It consists of all the components that I look for in a healthful breakfast.

Simple ingredient substitutions can help you make this recipe suited for your diet preferences:

• For gluten-free, use a gluten-free bread
• For vegan, use olive oil or vegan butter

What bread do I recommend for this recipe?

The best bread for this recipe is a hard, rustic bread that can support the weight of the avocado and tomatoes. I recommend ciabatta, French, Italian, focaccia, or sourdough.
