Avocado Toast With Egg (Print Page)
Creamy mashed avocado on toasted bread with a perfectly cooked egg for a quick nutritious breakfast.
# What You Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
→ Avocado Spread
02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - Salt and pepper to taste
→ Eggs
05 - 2 large eggs
→ Optional Toppings
06 - Pinch of red pepper flakes
07 - Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or cilantro)
08 - Cherry tomatoes or radish slices
# Directions:
01 - Place bread slices in a toaster or on a heated grill pan and toast until golden brown and crisp throughout.
02 - Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
03 - Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the eggs to your liking — fried, poached, or soft-boiled. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
04 - Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted bread slice, dividing it between the two portions.
05 - Place one cooked egg on top of each avocado-covered toast slice.
06 - Finish with optional toppings such as red pepper flakes, chopped fresh herbs, or sliced cherry tomatoes and radishes. Serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes exactly ten minutes from fridge to plate, which is faster than waiting in line at any cafe.
- The combination of creamy avocado and a jammy egg yolk soaking into crispy toast is genuinely one of the best textures you will ever eat.
02 -
- Rubbing a raw garlic clove across the hot toast before adding avocado adds a surprising amount of savory depth with almost zero effort.
- Gluten free bread works beautifully here but toast it a little longer than wheat bread since it tends to be softer and more prone to sogginess.
03 -
- Choose an avocado that is perfectly ripe the day before you need it and keep it in the fridge overnight so it does not overripen while you sleep.
- Everything on this plate should be ready at the same time, so start the eggs right after you put the bread in the toaster and mash the avocado while both are cooking.
