This tomato avocado melt is a quick and healthy breakfast for an on-the-go family!
I love everything about this Tomato Avocado Melt, but particularly that it 10 minutes to make and it always satisfies my hungry tummy! And, not only does it have some of my favorite ingredients layered on top, it has a thin layer of mayo and cayenne spread on the bread, which is the secret ingredient!
The mayo/cayenne combo adds just the right touch of tang and bite and makes it addicting!
I often make this for my one-year-old's lunch as well, leaving out the cayenne, and he gobbles it up! If you're like me and hardly have time to feed yourself come lunch-time, this is your solution!
I've compiled a whole bunch of awesome lunch and snack ideas here, and I refer to them often, but this Tomato Avocado Melt is probably my favorite of all!

I just tried this last week and loved it! Now i am hooked on it. Thanks for sharing😀
A ridiculously simply yet amazing sandwich! I too have been eating this almost every day for lunch. For an extra kick I mix some sriracha into the mayo as well. Yum!!
Nice to meet you. This looks delicious. I will have to try it. I’m looking for easy things to make, and avocados are so good for you.
Hi Lauren!
I rolled onto your food blog this morning and am glad I did. These recipes you have featured are amazing! Now I know what to do with this avocado and these tomatoes that need used up. I notice that a lot of your photos of cooked meat show the meat sitting atop a portable gas grill. Do you cook the different meats on that kind of grill? I figure you are using the grill to stage the photos because it looks nice, but wanted to ask and find out for sure.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Don, Thanks for your comment! I live in a tiny apartment with my husband so we do all of our grilling on that little portable gas grill–Hopefully one day soon we will be in a bigger place with space for a real grill, but for now, the portable one works!! 🙂
Those are nice little grills Lauren. I have one of those too. I found out it can make great toast when you are out camping.
I found this recipe this morning and made it for dinner tonight. Wow…it is pretty good and so quick and easy! Glad I found your food blog!
You really do a fantastic job with your photos. Everything looks sooo good.

This reminds me of an open face sandwich served at the Lunch Box, a former restaurant in Akron, OH. It was topped with sprouts and shelled pumpkin seeds, and a slightly tart yogurt or sour cream dressing was drizzled over top. So yummy. I don’t recall the avocado on it, but I think that is a great addition.
Correction to above posting. It is sunflower seeds not pumpkin seeds. Made this and it was delicious. For the dressing, I thinned out some non-fat plain yogurt with lemon juice and a few drops of milk to desired consistency. Also, sprouts are alfalfa sprouts. Try it!.
This looks scrumptious. And healthy as well. Score 🙂
Holy cow, this makes my mouth water! I love everything you put on this! Thanks for sharing! Pinned!
