If you don't want a bunch of stuff on your toast, you can stick with just mashed avocado on your bread. You may want to consider adding a dash of lemon juice as it keeps the avocado from turning brown.

5. Cayenne pepper avocado

In your bread, add in a few halved cherry tomatoes and include some olive oil. Then add some chopped coriander, a pinch of cayenne pepper and squeeze in some lemon juice. Mash your avocado onto your toast and enjoy.

Tips for choosing the right avocado

Creating the best avocado toasts recipes becomes a moot point if you do choose the freshest avocados for your meals. But it turns out this process doesn't have to be so difficult. Katy Green, a produce field inspector at Whole Foods Market, offers some tips.

• Color: A dark, purplish color indicate ripeness but if what you notice is a vibrant green hue instead, then the avocado is unripe.
• Texture: Another indicator of a good avocado is one that is firm or has a subtle give to it. "You should not be able to feel pockets of air between the skin and the flesh," Green said.
• Appearance: Mold of any kind on the avocado skin is a no-no.
