Why This Avocado Egg Toast Is a Perfect Breakfast

Ingredients You Will Need
- Large eggs
- Ripe avocado: When choosing an avocado, gently press near the stem. It should feel slightly soft but not mushy. An avocado that is too hard will be difficult to mash, while one that is too soft may be overripe inside.
- Slices of bread: Freshly baked bread works best. I love using sourdough bread, especially my beginner-friendly homemade sourdough, but any bread you enjoy will work. When possible, choose whole-grain bread for added fiber and nutrients.
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Paprika
- Fresh lemon juice
How to Make Avocado Egg Toast
- Step 1: Fried eggs: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the pan. Cook them sunny side up if you prefer a runny yolk, or flip and cook on both sides if you like your eggs more set. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Step 2: Boiled eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, depending on how firm you like the yolk. Transfer the eggs to cold water, peel, and slice.
- Step 3: Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add salt, black pepper, paprika, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Mash and mix until creamy.
- Step 4: Assemble the Avocado Egg Toast: Toast two slices of bread until golden. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice. Top with the prepared eggs and add extra seasoning if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Top Tip
For the best avocado egg toast, toast the bread well so it stays crisp under the creamy avocado. This prevents sogginess and gives you the perfect texture in every bite.

Notes

- Whole-grain or sourdough bread adds more fiber and helps keep you full longer, but any bread you enjoy will work.

- Toast the bread well so it stays crisp under the avocado and does not become soggy.
