Breakfast Avocado Toast with Eggs

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it combines flavor, texture, and nutrition all in one bite. The crisp bread balances the creaminess of the avocado, while the egg adds protein and richness. I also like that it’s easy to customize depending on my mood—sometimes I’ll add extra toppings like tomatoes or feta cheese. Plus, it keeps me full for hours without feeling heavy.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Brown bread, as needed
Eggs, as needed
Oil, as needed
1 avocado
Lemon juice, to taste
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Directions

I start by toasting bread until it reaches the crunch level I like.
While the bread is toasting, I heat a little oil in a pan and fry the eggs just the way I prefer—sometimes fully set, sometimes with a runny yolk.
I scoop the avocado into a bowl, mash it with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Once the toast is ready, I spread the avocado mixture on top.
I place the fried egg over the avocado and sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper.
I serve it immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy.

Variations

I sometimes top the toast with crumbled feta or goat cheese for extra tang.
A few slices of fresh tomato or smoked salmon can make it even more filling.
For a spicy kick, I add red chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
If I want something extra refreshing, I sprinkle chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley on top.
For a richer twist, I replace brown bread with sourdough or multigrain bread.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer eating avocado toast fresh since the avocado can brown quickly. If I need to prep ahead, I store the mashed avocado in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to slow browning, then assemble the toast just before eating. Fried eggs are best fresh, but if I make extras, I reheat them gently in a pan over low heat.

FAQs

How healthy is avocado toast with eggs?

I find it to be very healthy since it’s rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. It keeps me full and energized throughout the morning.

Can I make this with poached or scrambled eggs instead of fried?

Yes, I often switch it up. Poached eggs give a runny yolk that soaks into the toast, while scrambled eggs add a fluffy texture.

How do I keep the avocado from turning brown?

I always mix avocado with lemon juice right after mashing it. If I need to store it, I press plastic wrap directly on the surface before refrigerating.

What bread works best for avocado toast?

I like using hearty bread like sourdough, rye, or multigrain since they hold up well to the toppings without getting soggy.

Can I add protein to make it more filling?

Yes, I sometimes add smoked salmon, grilled chicken, or even beans on the side for extra protein.

Conclusion

Breakfast Avocado Toast with Eggs is one of my favorite quick breakfasts. I love how customizable it is, how quickly I can make it, and how nourishing it feels. Whether I keep it simple with just avocado and egg or dress it up with extra toppings, it’s always a satisfying start to my day.
