    Gourmet Toast Ideas are perfect for quick lunches or for serving at a party. Avocado Toast topping ideas and suggestions for what to put on top of avocado toast. 

    Lunch is the hardest meal for me to figure out what to eat. I don't want to spend much time in the kitchen because I am usually into my workday and want to keep the momentum. I found that I reach for avocado toast most days and I wanted to change it up. So I decided to start making a list of different toppings I could put on my avocado toast. The list kept growing and growing! It is about time I share my long list of gourmet toast ideas for quick lunches.

    One of my favorite combinations is just adding crunchy sliced cucumber and microgreens to my avocado toast. It adds some crunch and more nutrition with the addition of microgreens. I also love to add fresh garden tomatoes in the summer and drizzle them with a touch of extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, and sea salt.

    There are so many delicious combinations of toast -- from savory toast ideas to sweet toast ideas with honey ricotta and fresh berries.

    What type of Bread for Avocado Toast?

    When making avocado toast, there is nothing better than toasted sourdough bread, in my book. The toasted bread holds up beautifully to the creamy avocado and has a subtle tang. 

    You can also pick up a loaf of French Bread from your local bakery and slice it for the perfect avocado toast.

      melissa,
      what a great post this is. so many choices, so inspiring, creative and yummy. i am going to go over them with a fine tooth comb and start making my next grocery list for the ingredients i don't already have in my pantry and fridge.
      open faced sandwiches are all i ever eat so this is a no brainer for me. i'll come back here to say more after i've indulged.
