- Only 5 main ingredients
- Packed with healthy fats and protein
- Easy to customize with your favorite toppings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, fresh herbs (parsley or cilantro), microgreens, a pinch of sea salt
Instructions
1. Toast the bread
Toast your bread slices until golden and crisp - a toaster, oven, or dry skillet all work fine.
2. Mash the avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork, then add a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy but still slightly chunky.
3. Fry the eggs
Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook to your liking - about 2-3 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer it firmer. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble
Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toast. Top with a fried egg.
5. Finish it off
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, and a little extra salt and pepper. Serve immediately while everything is warm.
Tips for the Best Avocado Toast
- Use a ripe avocado - it should give slightly when you press it.
- Toast your bread until it's sturdy enough to hold the toppings without going soggy.
- Don't skip the lemon juice - it brightens the avocado and keeps it from browning too fast.
- For extra crunch, add sliced radishes or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
Serving Suggestions
Pair it with a side of cherry tomatoes, a light salad, or a bowl of fresh fruit for a complete breakfast or brunch.
