Shamrock Avocado Toast (Printable)

Avocado slices shaped like shamrocks atop toasted bread, sprinkled with everything bagel seasoning and chives.

# What Goes In:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread

02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - Pinch of salt

# How to Make It:

01 - Toast bread slices until golden and crisp using a toaster or grill pan.
02 - While bread is toasting, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and carefully peel the flesh.
03 - Slice avocado thinly and use a small sharp knife or shamrock-shaped cookie cutter to cut shamrock shapes from the slices.
04 - In a small bowl, gently toss shamrock avocado pieces with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to prevent oxidation.
05 - Arrange shamrock-shaped avocado pieces on the toasted bread slices.
06 - Sprinkle each toast generously with everything bagel seasoning.
07 - Top with fresh chives or microgreens if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes about fifteen minutes from craving to plate, which means you can actually make it on a regular morning without stress.
  • The everything bagel seasoning hits that savory-salty note that makes avocado toast feel intentional instead of predictable.
02 -
  • If your avocado is even slightly underripe, the shapes will crack and crumble—it's better to wait a day than to force it, and a perfectly ripe avocado makes this whole thing work.
  • The everything bagel seasoning is salty, so taste before adding extra salt; I learned this the hard way after over-seasoning the first batch and making it feel more like a pretzel than toast.
03 -
  • If you're making this for someone else, prep the avocado shamrocks just before serving and keep them in a bowl with lemon juice so they stay bright and don't oxidize while you're plating.
  • A splash of hot sauce or a smear of cream cheese underneath the avocado transforms this into something entirely different if you need variety on busy mornings.
