Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Printable)

Creamy avocado, fresh tomato, and protein-rich egg on crispy whole grain toast for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread

→ Avocado Mixture

02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

05 - 2 large eggs, hard-boiled and sliced
06 - 1 medium tomato, sliced into rounds
07 - 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
08 - Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or basil), for garnish
09 - Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan, remove from heat, and let stand for 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then peel and slice into rounds.
02 - Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
03 - While the bread toasts, halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl and add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork to your preferred consistency — creamy with some chunky texture works best.
04 - Divide the mashed avocado evenly between the two warm toast slices, spreading it to the edges in an even layer.
05 - Arrange tomato slices over the avocado, then top each toast with the sliced hard-boiled eggs. Drizzle with olive oil if using, and finish with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, fresh herbs, and crushed red pepper flakes.
06 - Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes twenty minutes from fridge to plate and looks like something from a cafe menu.
  • The creamy avocado paired with tender egg and bright tomato hits every texture and flavor note you want in a morning meal.
02 -
  • If you slice the eggs too early they get rubbery around the edges, so wait until just before assembling.
  • Rubbing a cut garlic clove across the warm toast before adding avocado is a small step that changes everything.
03 -
  • Choose avocados that feel heavy for their size and have no soft sunken spots, just a gentle yield when pressed.
  • Warm bread melts the salt into the avocado in a way cold toast never will, so always toast right before spreading.
