Can you believe it’s almost time for the BIG game! Yep, the one we all crowd around the TV to watch the football being thrown around… or in my case to catch the commercials and eat a lot of yummy food! I’m so excited to partner with La Brea Bakery to share this recipe for the perfect game day appetizer- Avocado Toasties.
I was excited to use La Brea Bakery Telera Rolls to make these Avocado Toasties.
From start to finish, they were ready in 15 minutes. I love serving food at parties that doesn’t take me away from my guests for too long. That can be one of the biggest bummers about entertaining, not being able to hang out with your guests because you are too busy making the food. I learned a long time ago to pick my entertainment menu based on food that is easy to make and serve for that very reason.
When I was thinking of what I wanted to make for this years game, I knew I wanted to use avocado… and I wanted it to be something in addition to our guacamole that we always have. Then Emmy and Ash asked if they could have grilled cheese… and that is where these were born from. It’s the best of both worlds. The creamy deliciousness from the avocado and the always well received cheese on top.
Even better, everything can be done before your guests arrive and the prep work is super easy!
Here are the ingredients:
- La Brea Bakery Telera Rolls- cut in half
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 cups of mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper
- fresh basil leaves (optional)
Directions:
- Because the Telera rolls are “take and bake” they still stay really soft on the inside and they get the perfect amount of crispy on the outside when baked. I sliced them in half and then put them right back into the back to keep them fresh.
- Plan for about 1/4 of an avocado per slice of roll. Spread it on the roll.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Add a whole basil leaf on top. (Optional- I love the fresh flavor that the basil leaf gives, but the girls prefer their without).
Serve immediately!

I even caught Ashley helping herself to one when she thought I wasn’t looking!
The rolls are my new favorite and I decided to make the girls one more recipe using them. I call these “Cheesy Pizza Dippers” and the recipe is in the video below:
I haven’t seen those but they sounds like rolls that I’d really enjoy. My brother and his wife love avocados, I bet they’d like this recipe.
Lovely! I wouldn’t mind having that at any time of the day! Thanks for sharing the awesome recipe.
So delicious. Would love to try it out. Please invite me.
I love avocado but have never though of doing this before! Wicked idea! 🙂
Sometimes, eating avocado toasties will be great for the big game.
You had me at the avocado with cheese! This recipe sounds absolutely delicious! I will keep this simple idea in mind when I need something new to feed my family.
Me too, Heather. This is a unique way to enjoy avocados! Just when I thought avocados were only for making guacamole, I see this! Awesome.
These look so delicious and what a creative recipe. I need to start using avocado in more of my recipes.
I love avocado and I smash it on just about everything I can get my hands on. My favorite is mixing it with an egg whether boiled, or fried so the creamy yolk mixes with the avocado cream, or even in salad.
Yum! I love avocado! Will definitely have to make these soon. They look delicious and I’m sure they taste amazing!
These look delicious! I absolutely love avocado and anything made with it!

Yum do these look great! I love avocado and cheese so paired together they are scrumptious!
My favorite thing about our yard is the avocado tree. I need to plan things so I have ripe fruit on game day. These look too good to miss out on.
I love, love, love this breakfast combination. I actually make something similar sometimes with spinach and egg and the turnout is amazing! Will give this a try!
This looks delicious! I like just about anything with avocado.
I would totally eat this in the morning for breakfast (sans the cheese – no dairy for me). Anything with avocados makes it delicious!
Avocado is perfect with almost anything! I really think I could eat it with every meal.
I love avocado so I know this will be delicious! Also that cheesy pizza dipper video has my mouth watering! lol
This sounds like a healthier snack idea for sure.
Perfect topic for the upcoming Superbowl!
I love anything made of bread so these bread sticks look delicious to me. I would pair these with a nice pasta dish.
