Simple Avocado Toast With Egg (Print version)
Creamy avocado spread on toasted bread topped with a perfectly cooked egg for a quick, nutritious breakfast.
# What goes in:
→ 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
# Cooking steps:
01 - Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
02 - While the bread toasts, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth or slightly chunky to 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 slice of toasted bread.
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.
# Tips from flavorandfeast:
01 -
- Ten minutes from cutting board to plate, which means no excuse to skip breakfast ever again.
- The combination of creamy avocado and a runny yolk over crunch is the kind of simple pleasure that makes you slow down and actually taste your food.
02 -
- Rubbing a cut garlic clove across the hot toast before adding avocado is a small step that changes everything.
- Underseasoned avocado is the most common mistake, so taste it before spreading and adjust aggressively.
03 -
- Start the eggs first if you like them poached, since the avocado only takes thirty seconds and you want everything warm at the same time.
- A pinch of flaky sea salt on the very top right before serving adds a crunch and burst of flavor that regular table salt cannot match.
