Garlic Croissant Avocado Toast

Garlic Croissant Avocado Toast — Because Why Not Make It Fancier? 😍🥐🥑

Let’s be real — avocado toast is a brunch classic. But why settle for plain old bread when you can level up with something way more fun and flavorful? Enter Garlic Croissant Avocado Toast — fancy, flaky, and totally addictive. ✨

I got a little creative for a breakfast for hubs and me, and the result was nothing short of amazing! Instead of toast, I used buttery garlic bread, but with a twist — I swapped the bread for croissants. Sure, not the most healthy option, but honestly? YUM, it’s totally worth it. Because sometimes, you just gotta treat yourself! 😋

What You’ll Need (for two servings):

For the pickled onion:

1/4 of a red onion 🧅
1/4 cup vinegar (apple cider is my fav, but I used red wine vinegar – cause it was what I had) 🍷
1/2 tsp white sugar 🍚

For the avocado:

1 ripe avocado 🥑
1/4 tsp chili powder 🌶️
1/4 tsp cumin 🌵
Salt & pepper 🧂🧄
Juice of half a lime 🍋

For the croissants:

2 croissants 🥐
2 cloves garlic – minced🧄
2 tbsp butter 🧈

To finish:

2 eggs (cooked poached, sunny side up, basted — your pick!) 🍳
Salsa verde 🌿
Queso fresco, crumbled 🧀
3 tbsp chopped cilantro 🌿

Putting it all together:

✨ Make the pickled onions the night before — just thinly slice that red onion, toss it in your vinegar mixture with sugar, and pop it in the fridge. Instant flavor boost for the next day!

🔥 On the day of:

Preheat your oven or grill to about 375°F.
Put the butter and garlic in a bowl and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Spread it on the croissant halves, and wrap them in foil. Bake or grill for about 10 minutes, then open the foil for a few more minutes to get that crispy, fragrant top!
Meanwhile, mash your avocado in a bowl, add lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mash it all up into a delicious, spicy spread.

🥚 Cook your eggs just how you like — I love mine basted with a runny yolk to dip and drape over that flaky, buttery goodness.

Time to assemble!
Spread the seasoned avocado on the croissant halves, top with the egg, sprinkle crumbled queso fresco, drizzle salsa verde, add cilantro, and finish with a spoonful of pickled onions.

And there you have it: the fanciest, yummiest avocado toast you’ve ever had — made with love and flaky croissants! Perfect brunch vibes for cozy mornings or impressing friends in your van.

🧡 Happy eating, friends!
