Step-by-Step: How to Make Spicy Avocado Toast

Toast Your Bread – Choose a hearty slice of sourdough, multigrain, or rye. The goal is a crunchy base that holds up to the toppings.

Spread Tomato Chutney – Layer a generous spoonful of your homemade chutney over the toast. Don’t skimp, this is where most of the flavor lives.

Add Avocado Slices – Slice ripe avocado and arrange it over the chutney. Pro tip: slice right before serving to prevent browning.

Add a Kick – Sprinkle with chili flakes for a subtle heat. You can also experiment with smoked paprika or crushed red pepper.

Optional Toppings – Elevate your toast with microgreens, seeds, feta, or a poached egg for added flavor, texture, and nutrition.

Serve and Enjoy – Best served immediately. Pair with a hot cup of coffee for the ultimate breakfast experience.

FAQ

Can I use store-bought tomato chutney?
Yes, you can. However, for the best flavor, we recommend making the tomato chutney from scratch. Homemade chutney has a richer, more complex taste that really elevates this avocado toast. Plus, it’s easy to prepare and can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, ready whenever you need it.

Can I use bread other than sourdough?
Absolutely. Whole grain, multigrain, or rye bread all work beautifully. Sourdough adds a nice tang, but any hearty bread can hold your toppings without falling apart.

Can I prepare the avocado ahead of time?
It’s best to slice avocado just before serving to avoid browning. However, the tomato chutney can be prepared in advance.

Grab your favorite bread, whip up some chutney, slice a ripe avocado, and sprinkle on your favorite toppings.
