Spanish Style Toast with Avocado (Pan Con Tomate)
Spanish style toast with tomato is one of the most popular breakfast recipes in Spain. It’s made with crusty bread, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and salt. I am combining it with my love for avocado toast for a delicious toast recipe!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 slices crusty bread (sourdough, rustic style bread, ciabatta, or a baguette sliced lengthwise
- ½- 1 Tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove peeled
- 1 ripe tomato halved
- Pinch kosher or sea salt
- Black Pepper to taste
- ½ ripe avocado
Optional additional toppings:
- fresh herbs
- egg (hard boiled, over-easy, scrambled)
- sliced meat (jamon, ham, sausage, bacon)
- hot sauce
- cheese
- sautéed vegetables
Instructions
- Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of bread slices.
- Toast the slices in a toaster oven, or regular oven at 350°F, until evenly golden and toasted.
- Rub the garlic clove on one side of each slice of toast. *
- Next, rub a half a tomato (flesh side down) all over the surface of each slice of bread. The tomato should ‘grate’ down and you will just be left with the skin. Discard the skin.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to your liking.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado. Divide the avocado in half and spread over each slice in an even layer.
- Add an other additional toppings and enjoy!

It’s important for the bread to be nice and crispy for the garlic and tomatoes to ‘grate’ well on top. Instead of grating the tomato directly on each slice, Using a cheese grater, grate tomatoes into a bowl, discarding the skins. Spoon the tomato mixture onto the toast. This is ideal when serving a crowd so they can make their own. The measurements for the ingredients can be adjusted to your liking. Find the balance of flavors you enjoy. *Raw garlic can be very spicy and pungent, I suggest going light and next time you can always make adjustments. Alternatively, you can use roasted garlic for a milder flavor. You likely won’t use the whole garlic clove, pending size. Wrap in plastic wrap to use another time. Serve immediately, as the bread will get soggy the longer it sits
