Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Printable Version)
A fresh and satisfying breakfast featuring creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, and protein-packed eggs atop crisp toast.
# What You'll 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 boil for 8 to 10 minutes until fully set. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice 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 on both sides.
03 - Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash lightly with a fork to your preferred consistency. Season with fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper, then mix well.
04 - Divide the mashed avocado evenly between the two toasted bread slices and spread into an even layer.
05 - Cut the tomato into thin slices and arrange them over the avocado spread on each toast.
06 - Layer the sliced hard-boiled eggs over the tomatoes. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- It takes almost no effort but looks like something you would pay fourteen dollars for at a cafe.
- The combination of creamy avocado, sharp tomato, and rich egg on crunchy toast hits every texture and flavor note you could want.
02 -
- Do not skip the ice bath for the eggs or you will be fighting with stubborn shells for ten minutes and losing chunks of white.
- Assemble everything right before eating because avocado toast waits for no one and soggy bread ruins the whole experience.
03 -
- Start your eggs in already boiling water rather than cold for more predictable timing and easier peeling every single time.
- Mash the avocado directly on a cutting board instead of in a bowl, the wider surface helps you control the texture and dirty one less dish.
