3 Ingredient Avocado Bread
Make savory, flourless rounds in 25 minutes using mashed avocado, egg, and shredded mozzarella. Bake them in the oven or air fryer for soft centers and golden browned edges ready for breakfast or sandwiches.
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Parchment Paper
- Sheet Pan
- Medium bowl
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1 egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or cheese of choice)
Instructions
- Combine the avocado, egg, and shredded cheese in a medium bowl, working them together with a fork until evenly mixed. The mixture should hold a soft mound on the spoon without large, firm avocado chunks.
- For the oven option, heat the oven to 400°F, cover a sheet pan with parchment, and spoon the mixture onto it in 2 to 3 portions, flattening each into a patty. Evenly shaped rounds should have substantial edges rather than thin, lacy borders.
- Add everything bagel seasoning or salt if desired, then bake the oven rounds for 20 minutes or until golden. Browned cheese and golden edges indicate that the exterior has developed color.
- For the air fryer option instead, preheat the appliance to 400°F, then line the basket with parchment and shape the mixture into 4 patties on the paper. The smaller rounds should have an even profile so the centers and edges cook consistently.
- Add everything bagel seasoning or salt if desired, then cook the air fryer rounds for 20 minutes or until golden. Look for browned cheese along the borders and a set surface rather than identical coloring on every round.
Notes
Ingredient tip: Pick an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure so it mashes easily without leaving hard chunks that interrupt the mixture.
Handling tip: Always line your sheet pan or air fryer basket with parchment paper, as melted cheese grips firmly to bare metal or foil. Allow the baked rounds to cool on the parchment for about 5 minutes so the cheese and egg structure firms up before lifting.
Storage: Place cooled rounds in a covered container with parchment between them and refrigerate at 40°F or below, keeping any fillings separate.
Reheating: Warm leftover rounds without wet toppings in an air fryer, toaster oven, or dry skillet to restore firmer edges, and avoid using a pop-up toaster where soft rounds can bend or break.
