Simple Avocado Toast With Egg (Printable Version)
Creamy avocado spread on toasted bread, topped with a perfectly cooked egg for a quick, satisfying 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
# How To Make It:
01 - Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown and crisp throughout.
02 - While the bread toasts, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth or slightly chunky based 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 the mixture between both slices.
05 - Place one cooked egg on top of each avocado-covered toast slice.
06 - Finish with optional toppings such as red pepper flakes, freshly chopped herbs, or sliced cherry tomatoes and radishes. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- It takes exactly ten minutes from fridge to plate, which is faster than deciding what to watch on television.
- The creamy, crunchy, runny combination hits every texture craving you have before noon.
02 -
- Rubbing the hot toast with a cut garlic clove before adding avocado is a tiny move that delivers an enormous flavor payoff.
- Using an avocado that is slightly underripe will give you a chunkier mash, while an overripe one turns buttery and spreadable, so choose based on the texture you want.
03 -
- A fork works just as well as a potato masher and gives you more control over the final texture.
- Warm the plate slightly before serving because cold plates steal warmth from food faster than you think.
