Key Ingredients & Their Roles

Avocado: Creamy texture + substitute with guacamole if in a pinch.
Egg: Adds protein and richness; can be replaced with tofu for a vegan option.
Whole Grain Bread: Provides fiber; swap for gluten-free bread as needed.
Salt: Enhances flavors; consider using flaky sea salt for crunch.

How to Make Avocado-Egg Toast

Toast the bread until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes, listening for that satisfying crunch.
While the toast cools, slice the avocado in half, pit, scoop, and mash in a bowl; season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the egg to your liking—poach, fry, or scramble; I prefer poaching for an extra creamy result.
Spread the avocado mixture generously on the toast and top with the egg; a sprinkle of chili flakes can add a nice kick.

Pro Tips & Troubleshooting

For prep, slicing the avocado just before use keeps it from browning; a little lemon juice can help, too.
A common mistake is overcooking the egg; aiming for a runny yolk enhances the dish dramatically.
Feel free to swap in seasonal herbs or toppings—think sliced radish in spring for a refreshing twist.
This recipe easily scales; you can halve or double the ingredients based on your needs.

Storage & Make-Ahead Guide

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; however, the avocado may brown. Freezing is not recommended due to texture loss. Reheat the egg slightly in a microwave or enjoy it cold on a salad.

Serving Suggestions

For a well-rounded meal, pair the Avocado-Egg Toast with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad. You could also enjoy it alongside my Easy Smoked Deviled Eggs for a delightful brunch spread.
