Simple Avocado Toast With Egg (Printable)
Creamy avocado mash on golden toast, topped with a cooked egg and optional fresh herbs. Ready in 10 minutes.
# What You'll 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
# How-To Steps:
01 - Place the bread slices in a toaster or on a heated grill pan and toast until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
02 - While the bread toasts, halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Add fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash with a fork or potato masher until it reaches your preferred consistency — smooth or slightly chunky.
03 - Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the eggs to your preference — fried, poached, or soft-boiled. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
04 - Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted bread slice, dividing it equally 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 the toast is still warm and crisp.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Ten minutes from fridge to plate, which means you have no excuse to skip breakfast ever again.
- The creamy, crunchy, runny combination hits every texture craving at once without any fuss.
02 -
- Rubbing a cut garlic clove over the warm toast before adding avocado completely transforms the flavor with almost zero effort.
- An underripe avocado will never mash properly, so plan ahead or use the microwave trick of heating it for thirty seconds wrapped in foil.
03 -
- Cook your eggs in the same skillet you used to toast the bread so the residual fat flavors them beautifully.
- Season the avocado, the egg, and the top garnish separately for layered flavor in every single bite.
