About This Recipe 

Can I start by saying avocado toast is hands-down my favorite breakfast or lunch option? The variety of nutrient-dense ingredients and creative ways to mix and match flavors is endless, and it is extremely filling.

You can easily enjoy a low-carb and keto-friendly version of creamy avocado toast by utilizing keto bread, a hard cheese, or a low-carb bread alternative for the toast! When building the perfect avocado toast, there are 3 different components; the avocado, the bread, and the fixings. 

There are 3 key components to building the perfect avocado toast: the avocado, the bread or the base for keto, and the fixings. 

The Avocado

The key to a great avo toast is to select and purchase avocados that are almost ripe. That is - they feel like a nerf football; firm but with a slight give. To this day, I have yet to find another metaphor to describe an almost-ripe avocado as appropriate as a nerf football. 

Avocados are praised for their high amount of heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs) but also contain high amounts of other minerals and vitamins as well. 

One-half of an avocado contains significant levels of potassium and magnesium, as well as vitamins C and E (1). 

Low-Carb Bread Alternatives and Counting Carbs

Here is where most keto or low carb dieters run into trouble; the type of base you use to build your avocado toast can quickly stack on the carbohydrates.

Whatever your personalized macro goals turn out to be, there are a few options you have for preparing a low-carb avocado toast to fit into your meal prep plan: 

• Keto cloud bread 
• Low carb "keto" bread
• Use a hard cheese like halloumi
• Eggplant, sliced into disks and roasted or seared
• Portobello mushrooms, roasted whole 
• Rice cake 
• English muffin 

The Fixings 

The toppings can add a ton of flavor and additional nutrients to your toast without adding too many extra carbohydrates. 

This is pretty self-explanatory, but feel free to get creative with your toast toppings.

Common toppings include seeds (such as pumpkin, chia, flax, and hemp); sliced raw vegetables (cucumber, carrot, radish); fresh herbs (parsley, mint, dill); hot sauce; tofu; hummus; tahini; and fresh greens (kale, arugula, sprouts, carrot tops, spinach). 

Currently, I am obsessed with using everything bagel seasoning on avocado toast. 

How to Prepare a Basic Keto Avocado Toast

Ingredients

• 1 Avocado 
• 1 teaspoon avocado oil 
• 2 slices of halloumi or low-carb keto-friendly bread 
• 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon lime juice 
• 1/2 cup fresh sprouts 
• 2-3 slices fresh tomato 
• 1 hard-boiled egg (optional)

Tools 

• Knife and cutting board 
• Saute pan and tongs
• Small bowl 
• Oven or toaster oven (if using bread) 

Step One: Gather Your Ingredients

Gather all of your ingredients together, if you've chosen to prepare a keto cloud bread as the base, feel free to make that first then jump to step three. 

Cut your halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch slices if it did not come pre-cut, and pre-heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.

In a small bowl, mash avocado with lime juice and a pinch of sea salt. You can choose to add some fresh herbs or dried spices such as red pepper flakes and garlic powder if you’d like! 

Step Two: Get Toasty 

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of avocado oil, toast the keto cheese "bread" 1-2 minutes per side until lightly brown on both sides. 

Remove your cheesy bread from the heat and set it aside on a cutting board or plate to build your avocado toast. 

If you are using low-carb keto bread, toast the bread in a toaster oven for 2-3 minutes before building your avocado toast. 

Step Three: Build Your Toast 

To plate your fancy keto avocado toast, top the toasted halloumi cheese with 1-2 tablespoons of mashed avocado, a few slices of tomato, sports, and a sprinkle of everything seasoning! Then dig in! 

With the addition of Everything Seasoning, there is no need to add salt and pepper to this recipe. 

Feel free to add 1 hard-boiled egg or fried egg per toast for extra protein!
