Avocado Egg and Cheese Bread
As the name suggests, this bread is made with just three ingredients: Avocado, egg, and shredded cheese. Avocado makes this bread high in healthy fats and is the main ingredient, while egg helps bind it, and cheese adds structure and protein.
I was first introduced to this viral TikTok recipe by a friend, and I am hooked! It’s a lot like my Avocado Cottage Cheese Wrap recipe, but less pliable due to the drier nature of shredded cheese. It’s best described as sandwich bread or buns rather than a wrap.
FYI, this avocado bread is closer to a sandwich round than a traditional bread loaf. But if you’re looking for a loaf, check out my artisan-style gluten-free bread.
Can This Be Used As Avocado Flatbread?
Yes, this recipe is actually more of a flatbread, similar to my viral cottage cheese flatbread and viral spinach cottage cheese flatbread.
To use this as a flatbread, simply spread the entire prepared mixture thinly on a parchment-lined quarter sheet pan or on half of your regular-sized sheet pan and bake as instructed.

Avocado Bread Ingredient Notes
Avocado: A small Hass avocado works perfectly for this recipe.
Cheese: I like to take a block of Parmesan or cheddar cheese and shred it at home. You can use pre-shredded cheese if in a pinch.
Egg: Use a medium egg.
Variations
- Add seasonings. I didn’t add any to this recipe, but you can add garlic powder or onion powder as I have in my Cottage Cheese Flatbread recipe.
- Make it spicy. Add some red pepper flakes for an added kick.
- Make it a pizza crust. Use the whole recipe to make a high-protein pizza crust instead!
How to Make Avocado Bread
Step 1: Preheat the oven. In a medium-sized bowl, add the shredded cheese, avocado, and egg. Smash the avocado, then mix everything until well combined.
Step 2: Shape the discs. On a parchment-lined sheet pan, use the back of a spoon to make 2 equal discs.
Step 3: Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 4: Cool and serve. Let it cool completely before using.

Pro Tips
- Make sure to line your sheet pan with parchment paper. That helps make the bread easy to remove. I don’t spray my parchment because it is inherently nonstick, but a reader did have an issue with hers, so you may want to spray or grease yours the first time just to be safe!

As one other person mentioned, I also eat dairy free so I tried the recipe with Daiya dairy free mozzarella. It looked cooked. even left it in a little longer than the indicated time. Browned top and bottom. Let them completely cool for 30 plus minutes. But it was raw. I’m assuming dairy free cheese doesn’t work. I may try it again with a tablespoon of potato flour. My avocado was also medium/large. So maybe too much avocado.
I just popped the second one back in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes. Let’s see what happens to that one!
