Easy to make avocado bread with only three ingredients: egg, avocado, and shredded parmesan cheese. Ready in just 30 minutes, this is the perfect gluten-free breakfast flatbread.

You may also like my cottage cheese wrap that’s also low in carbs and high in protein.

This avocado bread was surprisingly good. All you need is just 3 ingredients to make it too since the seasonings are optional. I do like adding a bit of onion powder to reduce the flavor of the egg since I am not a huge fan of eggs, to begin with.

I have to say that for a low-carb and gluten-free bread option, this recipe is definitely a winner. It works well for people who are looking for that low-carb option and don’t mind the high-fat and high-calorie options. Each flatbread has 23 grams of protein, so I am all in!

Ingredients needed

Below are the 3 ingredients you will need to make this bread. Full measurements are listed further down in the recipe card.

3 ingredients for avocado bread are laid out.

Avocado: I suggest you use a ripe avocado. Mine was more on the large side.
Parmesan cheese: Call me lazy, but I already had shredded parmesan cheese so that’s what I used. You can shred your own if you like.
One egg: use large or extra-large
Optional seasonings: garlic powder or onion powder.

How to make Avocado Bread

Preheat the oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Peel and remove the avocado pit. Add it into a medium bowl and mash it well using a fork.

Next, add the egg and the shredded parmesan cheese. If you want to add a bit of seasoning at this point you can add about a teaspoon of onion powder.

Mix together with a fork or spatula until they are nicely combined.

Divide the mixture into two equal parts on the lined sheet pan. Flatten it out a bit with a spoon or spatula. Do not spread it thin too much. You can make 2 or 4 servings. It will easily make 4 servings.

Bake for 22-26 minutes or until it starts to crisp on the sides. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Top with any of your favorite sandwich toppings and enjoy.

Tips From My Kitchen

Make sure the avocado is ripe to get that creamy texture. It will make it easier to mash too.
You may shred your own cheese, but I did mine with store-bought.
Do allow the bread to cool before trying to remove from the pan.
I do like to add a bit of seasoning and I used onion powder. This helps with that eggy taste that I am not too fond of. You can add any other seasonings.
I didn’t think it needed any salt, but a dash of salt won’t hurt.
Add more herbs like chopped parsley or cilantro.

Flatbread topping options

Top the avocado flatbread with whatever you like or whatever you usually top your toast bread in the morning. So many options, like scrambled eggs, cream cheese and smoked salmon, and so on.
I topped mine with Mediterranean-inspired ingredients. I added labneh (similar to Greek yogurt), sliced cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, kalamata olives, sprinkled some Zaatar (similar to oregano), and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Yummy!!

Common Questions

What other cheese can I use instead of parmesan?

Other comparable cheeses you can use are pecorino romano, cheddar, or Asiago.

Can I make it in the air fryer?

Yes. You can make it in the air fryer instead. Preheat the air fryer to 400F and line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Add the avocado mixture into 2 or 4 balls, flatten it out a bit, and air fry for about 18-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it after 15 minutes. You can open it then and carefully turn the flat bread over and air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden.

How Can I make it vegan?

You can replace the egg with an egg substitute like a flax egg. To replace one egg, use one tablespoon of ground flax and mix it with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Then use a dairy-free shredded cheese option.

Storing and reheating

If you have leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze for up to 2 months. Just wrap them carefully to prevent freezer burn.
To reheat them, you can either pop them back into a preheated oven for 5-8 minutes, or air fry them for about 5 minutes.
