Instructions
    Step 1
  1. Prepare the Avocado Base

    Begin by toasting your choice of whole grain or sourdough bread until golden and crispy. While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto each slice of toasted bread.

    2. Step 2
  2. Cook the Eggs

    Choose your preferred method to cook the eggs—poached, fried, or scrambled. For poached eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, and create a whirlpool before slipping in the cracked egg. Cook for about 3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. For fried eggs, heat a non-stick pan with a bit of oil and cook until the whites are firm and the yolks are still soft.

    3. Step 3
  3. Assemble the Classic Avocado Egg Toast

    Gently place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado-covered toast. Season with sea salt, cracked black pepper, and a sprinkle of chili flakes for a touch of heat. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

    4. Step 4
  4. Add Mediterranean Toppings (Variation)

    For the Mediterranean twist, arrange halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced Kalamata olives over the avocado and eggs. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle freshly chopped oregano on top to enhance the flavors.

    5. Step 5
  5. Incorporate Spicy Sriracha Elements (Variation)

    Drizzle Sriracha sauce generously over the avocado and eggs. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scatter thinly sliced green onions on top for an added crunch and spicy kick.

    6. Step 6
  6. Add Smoked Salmon and Creamy Toppings (Variation)

    Layer slices of smoked salmon over the avocado spread. Add a dollop of crème fraîche, sprinkle with capers, and garnish with fresh dill. Finish with the poached egg on top for a luxurious flavor combination.

    7. Step 7
  7. Load with Roasted Vegetables and Cheese (Variation)

    Pile roasted bell peppers, zucchini, and red onions onto the avocado base. Crumble goat cheese over the vegetables and drizzle with balsamic glaze for a rich and tangy finish.

Note

Storage: Avocado egg toast is best enjoyed fresh. However, you can prepare the avocado spread and toast in advance separately. Store the avocado mash in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning. Cooked eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and reheated gently before serving.

Variations:

  • Vegan Option: Replace eggs with smashed chickpeas or tofu scramble and use a plant-based spread like hummus.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free bread varieties such as rice toast or almond flour bread.
  • Additional Toppings: Experiment with ingredients like microgreens, radishes, or roasted nuts for added texture and flavor.

Tips:

  • For perfectly poached eggs, use fresh eggs as they hold their shape better in the water.
  • Toast the bread to your preferred level of crispiness to provide a sturdy base that supports the toppings without becoming soggy.
