Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is only as good as its bread, and that’s doubly true gluten-free — a sturdy GF loaf toasted deep golden can carry creamy avocado, flaky salt, and whatever you pile on. Here’s the house method plus three upgrades worth having.

Yield: 2 toasts · Time: 10 min

Ingredients

• 2 slices gluten-free sourdough or seeded bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Flaky salt and black pepper
• Red pepper flakes
• Optional upgrades: a soft-boiled egg, quick-pickled onions, or crumbled feta

Directions

1. Toast the bread darker than usual — gluten-free slices need the extra structure.
2. Mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, leaving some texture.
3. Spread thickly, then finish with flaky salt and red pepper flakes.
4. Top with an egg, pickled onions, or feta if you’re making it a meal.

Pro tip: Toast gluten-free bread from frozen for the best texture — it steams itself soft inside while the outside crisps.

Gluten-Free Notes

If you are cooking for someone with celiac disease, cross-contact matters as much as ingredients — clean surfaces, dedicated utensils, and certified or labeled gluten-free packaged goods are the safe path.
