Balsamic-Tomato Avocado Toast

Skip To RecipePrint Recipe

This balsamic-tomato avocado toast is a quick 10-minute breakfast. Fresh tomatoes and avocado piled on creamy mascarpone cheese with a balsamic drizzle is a very nice way to start the day.

If I had known way back in ye olden days of this blog (circa 2009) that in the year 2020 I would pay $8 to $10 for an avocado toast at a restaurant I would have immediately opened an establishment and raked in the dollars. Alas, I did not do that and, instead, I am here to share a “homemade” avocado toast. In 2009 that’s all there was. My how things change.

But I am still a fan after all these years and have some variation of this easy breakfast several times a week, especially during the winter because avocados are just really good for you and help fight those winter blues. Plus, they’re delicious.

Ingredients

Some days I get a little fancy and go beyond just the basics. This balsamic-tomato avocado toast is how I’ve fancy-fied it lately:

  • It starts with bread, of course. In this case a slice of whole-grain but I also buy that Ezekiel bread sometimes that’s made with sprouted grains when I’m feeling granola-y.
  • Mascarpone cheese has replaced cream cheese at my house mostly because I love how spreadable it is out of the package and it doesn’t have the tangy flavor. It just tastes rich and creamy.
  • Avocado, of course! Halve it, remove the pit, and thinly slice it while it’s still in the skin. Use a spoon to scoop out the slices.
  • Sliced roma tomatoes or any kind of tomato. I like romas because they’re a little meatier and smaller.
  • Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze. I like Bertolli brand.
  • A sprinkle of kosher salt and chopped parsley for garnish.

It’s a quick 10-minute assembly operation and it’s one of my favorite ways to start the day. It’s sort of like a caprese salad meets breakfast situation – fresh, fast and way less expensive than the fandangled restaurant versions.

Plus, it’s nice to start the day with a little fancy, don’t you think?

Happy breakfast 🥑
