First things first, set your oven to 400°F (204°C). Preheating is essential because it ensures that your bread cooks evenly and develops that lovely golden crust.

In a medium bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocado. With the help of a fork, mash it until it’s smooth but still has some small chunks for texture. Crack in the egg, add the shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined. You want it to have a uniform consistency, but those little bits of avocado add character!

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the bread from sticking and makes clean-up a breeze. Using your hands or a spatula, form two equal-sized discs on the parchment paper. Don’t worry about them being perfectly round. A bit of rustic charm goes a long way!

Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven. Let it bake for roughly 20 minutes, or until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown. Your kitchen will smell incredible as the cheese melts and the flavors meld.

Once the time is up, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let your avocado bread cool on the sheet for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This small step helps it firm up a bit, making it easier to slice.
