Ingredient Substitutions and Dietary Options
We want everyone to enjoy this Halloween treat, so here are some easy substitutions to suit different dietary needs and preferences:
Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free bread for a delicious gluten-free version. Just make sure it’s a sturdy option that can hold the toppings without getting soggy.
Dairy-Free/Vegan: Swap out the mozzarella cheese strips for a dairy-free cheese alternative. Many brands offer vegan mozzarella slices that work just as well for creating those mummy “bandages.”
Low-Carb/Keto: Opt for a low-carb bread alternative like almond flour or cauliflower-based bread. You’ll get all the fun of this spooky recipe while staying within low-carb guidelines.
Avocado Alternatives: If you or your guests aren’t fans of avocado, consider using a hummus spread or a dairy-free cream cheese as the base. This will still give you a smooth, creamy texture and a spooky mummy look!
These simple substitutions make it easy for everyone to enjoy the Halloween fun, no matter their dietary preferences.
Variations for Mummy Wrapped Avocado Toast
Ghostly Guacamole Spread: For an extra spooky twist, mix the mashed avocado with some finely chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of garlic powder for a “ghostly guacamole” flavor. Spread it on the toast before adding your mummy wraps for a hauntingly tasty upgrade!
Pumpkin Spice Toast Base: Give your mummy toast a hint of autumn by sprinkling a dash of pumpkin spice or cinnamon on the toast before spreading the avocado. This subtle, warm flavor pairs surprisingly well with avocado for a fall-inspired twist.
Spicy Mummy: If you like a little heat, mix red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce into the mashed avocado. Top with jalapeño slices as “eyes” for a fiery mummy with some kick!
Monster Mummy Toast: Make things even more fun by adding shredded purple cabbage or radish slices around the edges of the toast to give your mummy a “hair-raising” look! Kids will love decorating their mummies with these colorful toppings.
Egg-Topped Mummy: For a heartier breakfast, add a fried or poached egg on top of the avocado spread before layering on the cheese strips. This creates a mummy with a bright “eye” in the center that’s perfect for protein lovers!
Vegan Cheese Option: Substitute mozzarella with a vegan cheese alternative for a dairy-free version. There are plenty of plant-based mozzarella options that melt just as nicely and will give your mummy toast that spooky white bandage look.
Everything Bagel Mummy: Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning to the avocado spread before layering on the cheese. The seasoning adds a delicious, savory flavor that takes this mummy toast to the next level.
Sweet Mummy Toast: For a unique twist, try using a lightly toasted slice of cinnamon-raisin bread and spreading a thin layer of cream cheese mixed with mashed avocado. Add blueberry “eyes” and create mummy wraps with thin apple slices instead of cheese for a kid-friendly, subtly sweet option!
With these variations, your Halloween breakfast can be as unique as each “mummy” you create. Whether you’re going for spicy, savory, or even a hint of sweetness, there’s a mummy wrap option here for everyone!
Mummy Wrapped Avocado Toast
Equipment
- 1 Toaster or Toaster Oven – to toast the bread
- 1 Cutting Board – for preparing the avocado and toppings
- 1 Knife – to slice the avocado, cheese, and toppings
- 1 Spoon or Fork – to scoop and mash the avocado
- 1 Small Bowl – for mashing and mixing the avocado
- 1 Butter Knife or Spatula – to spread the avocado on the toas
- 1 Optional: Piping Bag or Plastic Bag (if you want to neatly pipe the avocado onto the toast for a smooth, even layer)
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe avocado: mashed Tip: Choose a perfectly ripe avocado for the creamiest texture.
- 2 Slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1-2 Slices of mozzarella cheese or vegan cheese: cut into thin strips
- 2 Cherry tomatoes or 1 grape tomato: sliced into small rounds
- 2 Black olive slices for eyes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, drizzle of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds
- Variation Tip: Feel free to use gluten-free bread or a different cheese option for dietary preferences.
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado SpreadCut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash until smooth, then add salt and pepper to taste. For an extra kick, sprinkle in red pepper flakes or a touch of lemon juice for added flavor and a bit of freshness.
- Toast the BreadWhile preparing the avocado, toast your bread slices until they are golden and crispy. The crunchier the toast, the better it will hold the toppings and prevent sogginess from the avocado.
- Spread the AvocadoGenerously spread the mashed avocado over each slice of toast, creating an even layer.
- Create the Mummy WrapsPlace thin strips of mozzarella or vegan cheese across the avocado toast in a crisscross pattern, mimicking mummy wraps. Don’t worry if the strips overlap or look uneven; the more random, the spookier!
- Add the EyesPlace two cherry tomato rounds on each slice to create the "eyes," then top each with a slice of black olive for the pupils. Adjust the position to give your mummy toast a unique, slightly eerie expression.
- Finishing TouchesSprinkle a pinch of salt or pepper, and add any optional toppings, like pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of hot sauce, for a little Halloween flavor twist.
Notes
Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
Want to make your Halloween morning as easy as possible? Here are a few tips to help you prep this Mummy Wrapped Avocado Toast ahead of time and keep it fresh:- Prepare the Avocado Spread: You can make the mashed avocado spread up to a day in advance. To keep it green and fresh, add a bit of lemon or lime juice and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado to minimize browning.
- Toast the Bread in Advance: For busy mornings, lightly toast your bread the night before, letting it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. Just pop it back in the toaster for a quick reheat and extra crispiness.
- Cut Toppings Ahead of Time: Slice the cheese, tomatoes, and olives in advance and store them separately in airtight containers. This will make it easy to assemble the mummy faces without any extra chopping on Halloween morning!
- Assemble Just Before Serving: For the best texture, wait until you’re ready to serve before spreading the avocado and adding the toppings. This will keep the toast crunchy and the mummy decorations fresh and fun!
