02 - Halve, pit, and scoop avocados into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy but still slightly chunky.
03 - Spread generous layer of avocado mash onto each toast, or serve mash in bowl for guests to assemble their own.
04 - Arrange toppings including radishes, cherry tomatoes, cheeses, pumpkin seeds, microgreens, egg slices, and pickled onions in small bowls or directly on board.
05 - Drizzle olive oil over avocado toasts. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, flaky salt, and black pepper as desired. Garnish with microgreens or arugula. Serve with lemon wedges.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks impressive enough to photograph but requires almost zero culinary skill, which is secretly the dream.
  • Everyone eats what they actually want instead of you guessing and someone pushing egg around their plate.
  • You can prep everything ahead and let guests assemble while you sip coffee like a civilized person.
02 -
  • Avocados oxidize and brown quickly, so unless you're serving this immediately, keep that pit nestled in the mash or drape plastic wrap directly on the surface until the last second.
  • Toasting the bread ahead of time means it gets soft and limp by the time people eat—toast right before assembly or people will toast their own pieces at the table if you set up a toaster nearby.
03 -
  • If you're making this for people with different diets, set up the toppings before adding anything dairy, then add a second line of vegan toppings separately—it prevents stress and shows you were thinking of them.
  • Buy avocados three days before you plan to serve this and keep them on the counter at room temperature; perfectly ripe avocados on the day you need them are impossible, so plan ahead.
