Vegan
I have no shame about being an avocado toast lover. What’s wrong with loving a healthy fat on a carb? Absolutely nothing. Avocado toast is so versatile – you can add as many or as little toppings as you’d like. You can have it vegan or add eggs to it – whatever floats your boat! See below for my fancy avocado toast recipe.
If you try one of my recipes, I would love if you could tag it on Instagram or FB @chivegfood! Would also love if you could rate and review my recipes as well after trying them!

minutesIngredients
- Avocado Spread
2 avocados
1 lime
3 dashes dashes hot sauce (Cholula is what I prefer)
1/4 red onion (finely diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 serrano pepper (finely diced and optional)
salt/pepper to taste
- Toast toppings
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 bag spinach
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup pickled onions (or shallots)
20 cherry tomatoes (chopped in half)
3 tbsp balsamic
2 tbsp dill (chopped)
4 slices bread
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (optional)
drizzle of chili oil
poached eggs (optional)
2 tsp white vinegar (for eggs)
Directions
- Avocado Spread
- Slice your avocado and put it in a medium sized bowl. Add the lime juice, hot sauce, onion, garlic, and Serrano pepper. Stir till blended together.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. For more acid, use more lime juice. For more spice, add more hot sauce and peppers.
- Optional Egg Preparation
- In a medium pan on medium heat, heat up your olive oil and add the garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add the spinach and sauté till it wilts slightly for about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt/pepper. Put aside.
- Prepare your optional poached egg and start toasting your bread. Crack your eggs into individual bowls. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, pour white vinegar and when it starts boiling, bring to a simmer.
- Take a large spoon with slits or holes and create a whirlpool, then quickly dump the egg in the middle of the whirlpool and cook for 90 seconds on medium-low heat. Then take the egg out with a large spoon, drain excess water and put aside on a plate. Repeat this step for each egg.
- Avocado Toast Assembly
- Once your bread is toasted, spread your avocado mixture on the bread, then the spinach-garlic mixture, then top with your optional egg, pickled onions (you can buy them pickled or pickle them yourself – see note), dill, tomatoes, and drizzle with balsamic and optional extra virgin olive oil or chili oil.
- Your avocado toast is now ready!
Notes
- Add more spice with hot sauce and red pepper flakes.
- To quickly pickle your onions, at least a half hour before preparing your avocado toast, add half of a sliced onion to a bowl with 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1 tbsp of white sugar, and 1 tbsp of tamari or soy sauce. Stir it all together. These will last you two weeks! This was inspired by http://www.nightmarketla.com/!
- Feeling even fancier, add pesto to it! Put it directly on your bread and top with the avocado spread and other ingredients.
- Top with Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel seasoning for an extra crunch!
