Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Print version)
Creamy mashed avocado meets juicy tomatoes and sliced hard-boiled eggs atop golden toast for a quick, protein-rich morning meal.
# What goes in:
→ 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)
# Cooking steps:
01 - Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and boil for 8 to 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool, then peel and slice into rounds.
02 - While the eggs cook, place the bread slices in a toaster and toast until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
03 - Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork. 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.
05 - Slice the tomato into thin rounds and arrange them over the avocado spread on each toast.
06 - Layer the sliced hard-boiled egg over the tomato. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
# Tips from flavorandfeast:
01 -
- The creamy avocado and jammy egg combo feels like something from a fancy cafe but takes barely any effort.
- It hits every texture you want: crunch from the toast, richness from the avocado, and a bright pop from the tomato.
02 -
- Plunging eggs into ice water immediately after boiling is the single trick that makes peeling painless.
- Adding lemon juice to the avocado right away prevents that unappetizing brown layer from forming.
03 -
- Slightly under mashing the avocado gives you those satisfying creamy pockets that spread differently in every bite.
- Letting the toast cool for just thirty seconds before adding toppings prevents the avocado from melting into a warm puddle.
