Recipe highlights
- Quick and easy - Prep the avocado mash while your bagel toasts.
- Completely customizable - The topping options are endless - keep reading for my favorites.
- Avocados are good for you. They are high in fat, but it's monounsaturated fat - the "good" fat - that can help lower cholesterol (when enjoyed in moderation.) They are also low in sugar and contain fiber and various vitamins and minerals.
Ingredient notes
- Bagels - I love using Everything bagels but any variety works well. Try onion, sesame, garlic, cheddar, asiago, or pumpernickel - the options are endless.
- Avocado - Haas avocados have dark green, bumpy skin. When ripe, they will give a little when applying gentle pressure. They are widely available year-round, which makes them a popular staple for sandwiches, salads, and all of your favorite Tex-Mex dishes.
- Lime (or lemon) juice - Avocados need acid. It prevents the avocado flesh from turning an unsightly brown-black. It also adds a bright, fresh flavor. I prefer lime, but if you prefer a slightly sweeter, less tart bite, go with lemon juice.
- Everything bagel seasoning - An absolute must on avocado toast! I make this seasoning and keep it on hand at all times - we use a lot of it! You can easily find this at the supermarket if you don't have the individual ingredients on hand.
- Salt - Avocados need salt just as much as they need acid. I prefer using Maldon flaky sea salt.
- Red pepper flakes - Totally optional but if you like a little heat, don't skip this!
Step-by-step instructions
See the recipe card for complete instructions and ingredient amounts.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise by running your knife top to bottom until you feel the pit. Gently rotate the avocado until you have sliced around the whole avocado.
- With your hands, gently twist the avocado to separate the two halves. Carefully hit the pit with the blade of your knife and wiggle the pit free. Discard the pit.
- Scoop out the flesh of the avocado into a bowl. TIP: I like to make cross-cuts through the flesh so it creates small chunks when I scoop it out. This makes it so easy to mash afterward.
- When the flesh of both avocados has been scooped out, squeeze in the lime juice and add salt to taste. Mash the mixture with a fork. You can leave it chunky or mash it smoother. The consistency is totally up to you.
- Cut the bagel in half and toast.
- Spread the avocado on the bagels. Top with everything bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes, or other toppings as desired.

Serving suggestions
- For larger bakery-style bagels, figure one avocado per bagel.
- Prepare the avocado spread when ready to assemble the bagels. If you need to prep it ahead of time, cover it with plastic wrap, pushing the wrap down directly on top of the avocado to block out the air, then store it in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
- Set out a toppings bar so everyone can garnish their own avocado bagel.
More topping suggestions
- Pea shoots and crumbled feta
- Eggs - hard-boiled, scrambled, or fried
- Radishes, chives, cilantro, or red onion - pickled onions are also delicious!
- Tomatoes
- Crumbled bacon
- Dash of hot sauce
- Spread a layer of scallion cream cheese on the bagel before topping with the avocado.
