Avocado Toast is a Canadian comedy-drama web series, which premiered in 2020 on OutTVGo. The series stars Heidi Lynch as Molly, a woman in her early 30s who unexpectedly falls in love with a woman for the first time, and learns after coming out as bisexual to her parents that they have been in an open marriage for many years; meanwhile, her best friend Elle (Perrie Voss) simultaneously discovers that her mother is having an affair with a man young enough to be her brother.

The series was based in part on Lynch and Voss's own real-life experiences.

The cast also includes Faye Marsay, Brenda Robins, Kristian Bruun, Nelu Handa, Scott Cavalheiro, Andrew Moodie, Mag Ruffman, Clare McConnell and Prince Amponsah.
