Cream Cheese Avocado Cream Avocado Spread for Bagels and Toast

Whether you are preparing a special brunch or need a quick breakfast on the go, this cream cheese avocado spread is perfect on bagels or toast.

Weekends are a time to slow down, have a nice family breakfast, maybe even host a brunch with friends. With the kids and their schedule and multiple activities, the only time we can together with grandparents or other extended family is with a family brunch.

Here in California, we love our avocados and we put it on everything, eggs, toast, tacos, soup, you name it. So I was excited when my friend Mimi/Mimi Avocado invited me to her avocado ranch and to tour a local avocado packing plant.

It was a fabulous experience and I learned a tremendous amount about how this beloved fruit goes from farm to store. My favorite part of the visit was visiting Mimi’s avocado groves and walking amongst the trees.

And of course, Mimi was generous enough to send her homes with a box of her delicious avocados. You can get your own gorgeous avocados straight from Mimi’s farm. Their premium avocados are hand-picked and immediately packaged into gift boxes and shipped through California Avocados Direct.

Why you have to make this recipe

When you have as many family living nearby as I do, you find yourself entertaining a lot. Sometimes they are formal dinners, other times they are casual pot lucks. I especially like hosting breakfasts and brunches because the meals are lighter – and I am a huge fan of the morning meal!

You have heard of the avocado toast, the simple meal of fresh avocados spread on well, toast. This cream cheese avocado spread is a cross between the simple avocado toast and the fancy breakfast bagel you can get at a deli.

The cheese spread includes avocados, cream cheese and goat cheese. You easily prepare it in advance. You can garnish your toast with more deliciousness or just enjoy the avocado spread plain.

It’s a delicious and easy way to dress up the most important meal of the day!
