Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Print Version)
Creamy avocado, fresh tomatoes, and protein-rich eggs on crispy toasted bread for a satisfying meal.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
→ Avocado Spread
02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Toppings
05 - 1 medium ripe tomato, thinly sliced
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
08 - Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
09 - Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
# Steps:
01 - Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 9 to 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Transfer to cold running water to cool, then peel and slice into rounds.
02 - While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crisp.
03 - Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash together with fresh lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.
04 - Divide the mashed avocado evenly between the two toasted bread slices, spreading it edge to edge in an even layer.
05 - Arrange the thinly sliced tomato over the avocado spread. Top with the sliced hard-boiled eggs, distributing them evenly across each slice.
06 - Drizzle with olive oil if desired. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes twenty minutes from stove to plate, which means you can have a real breakfast even on chaotic mornings.
- The combination of creamy avocado, juicy tomato, and satisfying egg hits every texture and flavor note you could want without any fuss.
02 -
- Undercooked eggs cannot be fixed after the fact, so always pull one out early and crack it open to check before committing the whole batch.
- Mashing avocado in a cold bowl straight from the cabinet makes it easier to control the texture than using one still warm from the dishwasher.
03 -
- Salt your avocado mixture a little more aggressively than you think it needs because the bread and toppings will dilute the seasoning faster than you expect.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the peeled eggs so the yolk stays intact instead of crumbling everywhere.
