How To Make First Watch Avocado Toast

Step One: In a bowl, mash ripe avocados with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.

Step Two: Lightly toast your choice of multigrain or sourdough bread until golden and crisp.

Step Three: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices. Arrange sliced cherry tomatoes on top, sprinkle with feta or goat cheese crumbles, and add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.

Step Four: Drizzle lightly with olive oil for extra flavor and richness. Serve immediately while the toast is crisp and the avocado is fresh.

Easy Copycat First Watch Avocado Toast Recipe Tips

• Use perfectly ripe avocados – Soft enough to mash easily, but not overripe.
• Toast the bread well – A crisp base prevents sogginess and adds texture.
• Season the avocado – Lemon juice, salt, and pepper enhance natural flavors.
• Layer toppings thoughtfully – Cherry tomatoes, cheese, or red pepper flakes add flavor and visual appeal.
• Serve immediately – The toast is best when fresh and warm, so it stays crispy.

Storing and Make Ahead Instructions

• Storing: Store any leftover avocado toast components separately in airtight containers. Keep the mashed avocado in the fridge for up to 1–2 days, and the toasted bread at room temperature in a sealed bag.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the avocado mixture a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Toast the bread and assemble just before serving to keep it crisp and fresh.

Easy Copycat First Watch Avocado Toast Recipe Faqs

Can I make this avocado toast ahead of time? You can prepare the avocado mixture up to a day in advance, but it’s best to assemble the toast right before serving to keep the bread crisp.

What bread works best for this recipe? Multigrain, sourdough, or whole-grain bread are ideal for toasting and supporting the avocado without becoming soggy.

Can I add other toppings? Absolutely! Try radishes, cucumber slices, microgreens, or a poached egg for extra flavor and nutrition.

How do I prevent the avocado from browning? Add a bit of fresh lemon juice to the mashed avocado and store it in an airtight container until ready to use.

Can this recipe be made vegan? Yes! Simply skip the cheese or use a plant-based alternative like vegan feta or nutritional yeast.

Can I use frozen avocado? Fresh avocado gives the best texture and flavor, but if needed, thawed frozen avocado can work—just mash gently to avoid watery texture.
