Avocado on toast is one of those fail-safe meals that just hits the spot time and time again. Whether you're eating it whilst out for brunch with friends or preparing your own version at home, there's just something about the creamy avocado and crunchy bread that's so delicious every time.

However, without the right seasonings or extra ingredients, avocado toast can be pretty bland. And if you're looking for inspiration on how to jazz up yours, then the secret could be lurking in your fridge already. Recipe creator Noa Williams on TikTok has hailed cream cheese as the perfect 'secret ingredient' for levelling up your brunch.

The chef, who has more than 545k followers on TikTok, says that this cheap condiment is the perfect way to make your avocado toast instantly taste so much creamier and more delicious.

Cream cheese is a real kitchen staple, whether it's used on sandwiches or in baking, and it's affordable too, with a tub costing as little as 95p from Sainsbury's.

It has a mild salty flavour, so it won't overpower your avocado toast, but what it will do is add a luxurious creaminess that'll make your homemade dish taste every bit as good as a restaurant's.

To make this ultra-creamy toast topping, all you need to do is grab an avocado, cut it in half and scoop out the green filling.

Then, add it to a bowl, and mash it up with 40g of your favourite cream cheese.

Season with salt and pepper like you normally would, and give it another good mix. Meanwhile, toast your bread - sourdough works great with avocado.

When the toast is ready, spread on a little butter just to give it some extra flavour.

Slather on the avocado and cream cheese mixture, top with a little extra salt and pepper, and enjoy.

Noa described it as 'literally the best thing I've ever eaten', and people in the video's comments were in firm agreement. One person said: "This looks so good and healthy!"

Another wrote: "My son and I made it with cream cheese just now as per your suggestion! It was amazing! Thanks for the tip."

And a third commented: "Did this but added lemon juice and honey, so good!"
