Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Printable Version)
Crispy toast layered with creamy mashed avocado, fresh tomatoes, and sliced hard-boiled eggs for a complete breakfast.
# What You Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
→ Eggs
02 - 2 large eggs
→ Vegetables & Toppings
03 - 1 ripe avocado
04 - 1 medium ripe tomato
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)
06 - 1/2 lemon, juiced
→ Seasoning
07 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
08 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 - 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
# Directions:
01 - Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel and slice into rounds.
02 - While the eggs cook, place the bread slices in a toaster and toast until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
03 - Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork. Season with fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to taste.
04 - Divide the mashed avocado evenly and spread it across both toasted bread slices, pressing gently to adhere.
05 - Slice the tomato thinly and layer the slices over the avocado spread on each toast.
06 - Arrange the sliced hard-boiled egg over the tomato on each toast. Finish with chopped chives or parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in under twenty minutes and makes you feel like you ordered from a cafe.
- The combination of creamy, crunchy, juicy, and savory hits every texture you crave before noon.
02 -
- Overcooking the eggs past ten minutes gives you a dry crumbly yolk instead of the creamy center that makes this dish special.
- Adding lemon juice to the avocado right after mashing prevents it from turning brown before you even plate it.
03 -
- Start your eggs in boiling water rather than cold for easier peeling and more consistent results every time.
- Use sourdough if you can because its tangy flavor cuts through the richness of the avocado and egg better than any other bread.
