Avocado Toast with Egg
This Avocado Toast with Egg is creamy, crunchy, and pure cozy comfort in every bite. Topped with jammy or sunny-side-up eggs, chili flakes, and a lime-kissed avocado mash, it’s the kind of breakfast that makes you feel like you totally have your life together (even if just for 10 minutes).
Equipment
- Toaster or skillet
- Medium bowl for mashing the avocado
- Fork or masher
- Small pot or frying pan for egg
- Sharp knife & cutting board
- Citrus juicer optional
Ingredients
- 2 slices of sourdough bread or whatever bread your heart loves — but sourdough gives extra crunch
- 1 ripe avocado not too soft, not too firm... Goldilocks level
- 2 eggs I do soft-boiled or sunny-side-up, depending on the drama level I want
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin, of course — she fancy
- Salt and pepper to taste don’t skip, babe, it matters
- A pinch of chili flakes optional, but trust me, it’s the sparkle
- Juice of half a lime that citrus hit? magic
Instructions
Toast Like You Mean It
- Toast your bread to golden perfection. I like mine just shy of “burnt,” because that crunch is everything. If your toaster betrays you and gives you weak toast, throw it in a pan with olive oil — game changer.
Avocado Smashin’ Session
- Mash the avocado in a bowl with lime juice, salt, pepper, and if you’re feeling it — a teeny drizzle of olive oil. Taste it. Add more salt. Taste it again. It’s basically guac’s classy cousin. I once added garlic powder and regretted nothing.
Egg Drama (the fun kind)
- You’ve got options, honey. Soft-boil for 7 minutes if you want that jammy yolk. Or go for sunny-side-up with a runny center and crispy edges. Just don’t walk away while it’s cooking... trust me. I once burned mine while scrolling TikTok and cried over wasted eggs.
Stack It Like You Love It
- Spread the avocado mix generously on your toast, place your egg on top like the queen she is, then hit it with chili flakes, maybe some microgreens if you're feeling extra, and a tiny crack of black pepper.
Notes
- Want extra protein? Add another egg or a few chickpeas on the side.
- No sourdough? Use whole wheat, multigrain, rye — anything with a nice crunch.
- Make it spicy: Chili flakes, sriracha drizzle, or jalapeño slices all slap.
- Make it fancy: Add smoked salmon, crumbled feta, or microgreens.
- On the go? Make as an open-faced sandwich and wrap it up for a desk breakfast.
