This recipe focuses on highlighting the fresh, creamy flavor of avocado with just a few key ingredients, making it a perfect base for your gluten-free lifestyle.
One of the great things about avocado toast is how easily it fits into a gluten-free diet. Choosing the right gluten-free bread is key – look for a loaf that toasts well and holds its shape.

Instructions:
Here's how to make delicious gluten-free avocado toast:
-
Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the two eggs. Season them lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Toast the Bread: While the eggs are cooking, place your gluten-free bread in the toaster. Toast it to your preferred level of crispiness. This will help to have both the eggs and toast ready at the same time. I like using Canyon Bakehouse.
-
Fry Eggs: Fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. I like mine over-hard.
-
Assemble the Toast: Remove the toast from the toaster and place it on a plate. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over both slices of toast.
-
Add the Eggs: Place one fried egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
-
Season: Sprinkle Everything But The Bagel Seasoning generously over the eggs and avocado.
-
Spice It Up (Optional): If you like a little heat, add a dash of hot sauce or Tabasco to each piece of toast.
-
Enjoy! Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and easy gluten-free avocado toast!
Recipe Notes:
- Everything But The Bagel Seasoning Substitute: If you don't have Everything But The Bagel Seasoning on hand, you can create a similar flavor by mixing sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds. Feel free to adjust the ratios to your liking or use any other spices you enjoy!

Tips, Substitutions, and Variations
- Gluten-Free Bread Options: Canyon Bakehouse is a great choice for gluten-free bread as it closely mimics the taste and texture of traditional wheat bread. Other brands like Schar, BFree, or Little Northern Bakehouse also work well. Be sure to check that your gluten-free bread is certified to avoid cross-contamination.
- Dairy-Free: Omit the fried egg. You can substitute it with mushrooms or tempeh bacon.
- Variations:
- Spicy: Add a dash of red pepper flakes or sriracha to the avocado mixture.
- Veggie-Packed: Top with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or sprouts.
- Cheesy: Sprinkle with dairy-free cheese shreds before adding the egg.
- Everything But The Bagel Seasoning Substitute: If you don't have Everything But The Bagel seasoning, combine equal parts sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and sea salt.
- Healthy Fats: Avocado is a great source of monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health.
- Egg Alternatives: If you're not an egg person, consider adding grilled halloumi or smoked salmon for a protein boost.
- Storage: Avocado toast is best enjoyed immediately. However, you can prepare the avocado mixture in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent browning, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.
