I usually use guacamole as topping for this toast or make a simple avocado-tomato-onion-cilantro-cheese mix with salt, pepper and lemon juice and use it to make avocado cheese toast.

Tips To Make Perfect Toast Recipe
Avocados– To make best avocado toast make sure you pick up the perfect avocado. For this toast you want avocado that is ripe yet a bit firm. You should be able to chop them finely as seen in the photos.
If you press the avocado should give in slightly but it should not be mushy. Mushy ones are best for making milkshakes, mousse recipes.
Bread– You can use any variety of bread for this avocado toast recipe. As I have used cheese that needs melting, I am toasting the bread along with the topping. You can easily toast the bread first and add avocado topping without cheese and serve.
I usually use this plain white bread , this garlic loaf, whole grain bread and sourdough bread to make avocado toast.
Butter the bread generously for wonderful flavor. If you want you can use dairy butter too here. Use can olive oil or coconut oil too.
Red onions lend a wonderful sharp flavor and compliments the buttery taste and flavor of avocados. If you find the flavor very sharp you can use yellow or white onions too in the avocado mixture.
If you like you can add 2 cloves minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for flavor.
After making the toast you can add a dash of flaky sea salt for wonderful taste and flavor.
