INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS

For the base of this smashed avocado on toastt you really only need 4 ingredients: avocado, poached egg, cream cheese and gluten free english muffin.

GLUTEN FREE BREAD

Avocado toast is best on crisp toast instead of soft bread. You want the crunch of the toast to offset the softness of the avocado.

As we know, finding good gluten free bread is hard. I’ve listed my favorites for you below to help cut down the time of you perfect-bread search!

I like this one from canyon because it is full sized! I hate mini slices of bread and this one is large slices and toasts really well. https://amzn.to/3U4rmFC

This gluten free bread by schars is also really good! They have full sized slices and toast well but you only get 5 slices in a pack. https://amzn.to/3Be67bP

I love a good crusty roll. This gluten free roll is the closest I’ve found to an italian loaf. It toasts really well as well. https://amzn.to/3DfFLZu

AVOCADO

Avocado is the “meat” of these gluten free avocado toast. It gives the gluten free avocado toast the flavor and texture you want and is packed with healthy fats.

You want to make sure your avocados are ripe.

HOW TO CHECK IF AN AVOCADO IS RIPE?

You want to lightly squeeze the avocado in your hand. If you can gentle feel it giving and it is a little soft, its likely ripe. The skin should be dark in color.

If the avocado is rock solid hard or green in color it is not ready yet.

CREAM CHEESE

I used my own vegan cream cheese recipe to make sure this smashed avocado on toast is dairy free. CLICK HERE FOR THE RECIPE. You can use any cream cheese you want. You can make your own, buy regular, get some from your local bagel shop!

Use any version of cream cheese. I have used vegetable cream cheese, whipped cream cheese, chive cream cheese, etc.

POACHED EGG

These microwave poached eggs are fool proof! Theyre incredibly easy to make even if this is your first time poaching eggs. Theres little to no clean up. You’re only 9 seconds away from healthy 90 second microwave poached egg breakfast.

1. Mix together salt, water, and vinegar In a mug.
2. Crack an egg into the water.
3. Microwave for 90 seconds, covered.

TASTE & TEXTURE

This smashed avocado on toast is packed with fresh flavors. The avocado is soft and smooth, while the bread is toasted and crispy. I like to add a drizzle of oil to my smashed avocado on toast to give it extra flavor. I always season my avocado toast with salt and pepper for a seasoned taste.
