Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Printable)
Crisp toast layered with creamy mashed avocado, fresh tomato slices, and perfectly boiled eggs for a fulfilling morning meal.
# What You'll 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)
# How-To 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 fully set. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice 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 throughout.
03 - Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork to your preferred consistency. Season with fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper, then stir to combine.
04 - Divide the seasoned avocado mash evenly between the two toasted bread slices, spreading it in an even layer across each.
05 - Slice the tomato into thin rounds and arrange them over the avocado layer. Top each toast with the sliced hard-boiled egg halves.
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 Advice:
01 -
- It takes exactly as long as boiling an egg, which means even your laziest morning can handle it.
- The combination of creamy, crunchy, juicy, and savory hits every texture craving at once without any fancy technique.
02 -
- Underripe avocado will never mash properly no matter how hard you try, so press for doneness before committing.
- Peeling eggs under running cold water makes the shell slide off in satisfying sheets instead of frustrating tiny fragments.
03 -
- Slice your eggs with a knife dipped in hot water for perfectly clean cuts through the yolk.
- Letting the toast cool for thirty seconds before adding toppings prevents the avocado from melting into a warm puddle.
