Avocado Toast With Tomato Egg (Print Page)

A satisfying breakfast combining creamy mashed avocado, fresh tomato slices, and protein-packed eggs atop crisp toast.

# What You Need:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread

→ Eggs

02 - 2 large eggs

→ Vegetables & Toppings

03 - 1 ripe avocado
04 - 1 medium ripe tomato
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)
06 - 1/2 lemon, juiced

→ Seasoning

07 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
08 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 - 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and boil for 8–10 minutes until fully set. Transfer immediately to an ice bath or cold running water to cool. Peel and slice into even rounds.
02 - While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crisp on the outside but still slightly tender inside.
03 - Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving some texture. Season with fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to taste.
04 - Divide the mashed avocado evenly and spread a generous layer over each slice of toasted bread, pressing gently so it adheres to the surface.
05 - Slice the tomato into thin rounds and arrange them over the avocado spread. Top each toast with the sliced hard-boiled egg, distributing the pieces evenly.
06 - Finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It turns whatever is sitting in your fridge into something that feels intentional and café worthy in under twenty minutes.
  • The creaminess of avocado against the snap of crisp toast and the tender bite of egg is a texture combination that never gets old.
02 -
  • Undercooked eggs are obvious but overcooked eggs with that grey green ring around the yolk are just as disappointing so set a timer the moment the water returns to a boil.
  • Assembling everything right before eating is not a suggestion because the clock starts ticking the moment avocado meets hot toast.
03 -
  • Start your eggs in boiling water rather than cold for more predictable timing and easier peeling every single time.
  • A pinch of salt in the avocado mash plus another pinch on top of the tomatoes is the difference between flat and vibrant.
