Buttery avocado, creamy soft cheese, and all layered on crispy toasted bread. It's the ultimate marriage of creamy and crunchy, and it's endlessly versatile. Avocado Cream Cheese Toast is a quick grab and go breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients and Substitutions
A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Bread - Sourdough is my favourite for avocado cream cheese toast, but you can also use rye, whole grain, or your favourite bread. Use a seeded bread for extra fibre.
- Cream cheese - Full-fat, light, whipped, or flavoured. You could swap this for cottage cheese instead. Have you tried our Cottage Cheese Toast?
- Avocado - Mashed or sliced.
- Tomato - Sliced beef tomatoes or you could swap them for sun-dried tomatoes.
- Seasoning - A sprinkle of Homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning. You could also add a drizzle of hot honey or just some olive oil. Some fresh herbs like chives, basil and dill work too.
Variations
- Cherry tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes also work.
- Red pepper flakes, chilli flakes or some chilli oil if you like a kick of heat.
- Microgreens
- Everything bagel seasoning, garlic salt or sesame seeds.
- Red onion slices or Homemade Pickled Red Onions.
- Lemon zest or juice for freshness just before serving.
- Smoked salmon or boiled egg, fried egg or poached egg to add protein.
- Cooked crispy bacon (Air Fryer Bacon or Oven Cooked Bacon) if you want to add meat.
How To Make Avocado Cream Cheese Toast

Serving Suggestions
As a quick breakfast with coffee or green tea.
Light lunch alongside a bowl of soup or a side salad.

After-school snack: Kid-friendly and easy to prep with minimal mess.
Dannii's Top Tips
- Use ripe avocados: A perfectly ripe avocado should yield slightly to pressure without being mushy.
- Layer thoughtfully: Cream cheese first helps keep the bread from going soggy, especially with juicy toppings like tomatoes.
- Season each layer: A pinch of salt or everything bagel seasoning on the avocado brings the flavour to life.
- Toast matters: A good quality bread makes all the difference. Look for sturdy slices that can handle the toppings without going limp.
- Lemon: Add a squeeze of lemon juice on everything just before serving to lighten it all up.
Frequently Asked Questions
It's best assembled just before serving to keep the toast crisp and the avocado fresh. You can prep components ahead (like toasting bread or slicing veggies) and assemble quickly when ready to eat.
Add lemon or lime juice to mashed avocado to slow oxidation. Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface.
Of course! Just replace the cream cheese with your favourite brand of vegan cream cheese
