Description

A simple and delicious Avocado Toast with Egg recipe perfect for a quick and nutritious breakfast. Creamy mashed avocado is spread over toasted bread and topped with eggs cooked to your preference—fried, scrambled, boiled, or poached—for a satisfying meal packed with healthy fats and protein.

Ingredients

For the Toast and Avocado

  • ½ small avocado, seeded and peeled
  • 2 slices bread of choice

For the Eggs

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (optional, for cooking eggs)
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar (for poached eggs)

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast two slices of your preferred bread in a toaster until golden brown and crispy. This creates a sturdy base for the toppings.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: Quarter the peeled and seeded avocado, then slice and mash it directly on top of the toasted bread. Spread evenly for creamy texture.
  3. Cook Fried Eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Crack an egg onto the skillet, then immediately reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered until egg whites are set and yolks thicken to your liking, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and pour into the pan. When edges begin to set, gently fold the eggs until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Cook Boiled Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cool water, and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to low and cook according to desired doneness: 4 minutes for soft, 6 minutes for medium, 12 minutes for hard boiled. Transfer eggs to ice water before peeling.
  6. Cook Poached Eggs: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add white vinegar and stir to create a vortex. Lower heat to maintain a gentle boil. Crack an egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the center of the vortex. Cook 3-4 minutes to desired doneness, then remove with a slotted spoon.
  7. Assemble and Season: Top the avocado toast with your eggs prepared by any preferred method. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can customize the bread type to suit your taste and dietary needs—whole grain, sourdough, or gluten-free all work well.
  • Adjust cooking times for eggs based on your preferred level of doneness.
  • Using ripe avocado ensures a creamy spread that pairs beautifully with eggs.
  • White vinegar in poaching water helps the eggs maintain shape but can be omitted if desired.
  • Olive oil or butter can be omitted for a lower fat option if desired.
