Avocado Toast Is Southern California's Most Famous Dish

Popular on breakfast and lunch menus around Southern California, avocado toast is a true staple in the Golden State. You’ll find all kinds of variations—from savory to sweet to salty and tangy with a crunch. No matter which way you eat it, avocado toast is so delicious that you’ll be wanting to make this famous dish at home.

The most traditional avocado toast that Southern Californian's love features smashed avocado on toast with salt and pepper. It’s a simple, yet delicious meal that has endless flavor combinations.

Did you know avocado trees were first introduced to Southern California from Mexico in 1871? Since then, the avocado has become a popular fruit that we can’t get enough of today.

The best part about avocado toast is all of the flavorful combinations and toppings you can add onto the toast. Hard-boiled eggs make a great addition to a protein-filled breakfast or lunch.

There are tons of creative toppings to try. Zinc Cafe & Market at Laguna Beach serves an avocado toast that features radish salad, heirloom cherry tomatoes, onions, dill, and lemon juice.

We love this crunchy and tangy flavor combination from Lodge Bread Co. in Los Angeles. This toast has thinly sliced radishes, lemon, balsamic, and olive oil with fresh cracked pepper on a thick slice of bread.

Whether you like basic avocado toast or something fancy, there’s so many combinations to choose from. Southern California bakeries and restaurants are known for creating gourmet masterpieces

Avocado toast is not only a brunch favorite, but it’s also a dish you can make at home and get as creative as you like with toppings. From poached eggs, to radishes, to lemon, and tomatoes, there’s no shortage of flavor combinations to try.

We love avocado toast because it tastes great any time of day. It’s so versatile, that you can make it at home or order it from your favorite restaurant. Are you an avocado lover? If so, check out this famous bacon and avocado burger in Southern California.
