Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Printable)
Fresh avocado, ripe tomatoes, and sliced eggs atop golden toasted bread create a hearty morning meal
# 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)
# How to Make It:
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 hard-boiled. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice-cold water to cool, then peel and slice into rounds.
02 - While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices in a toaster or oven until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
03 - Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving some texture. 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 into thin rounds and layer them over the avocado spread. Arrange the sliced hard-boiled egg on top of each toast.
06 - 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 Tips:
01 -
- The combination of creamy avocado, juicy tomato, and hard boiled egg turns a simple toast into something that actually keeps you full until lunch.
- It takes almost no effort but looks beautiful enough to serve to overnight guests without breaking a sweat.
02 -
- If you peel the eggs under running cold water the shells slip off cleanly without tearing the white.
- Assemble everything right before eating because once the avocado meets the toast it softens fast and you lose that satisfying crunch.
03 -
- Start your eggs in already boiling water rather than cold for more predictable timing and a tender white.
- Mash the avocado by hand with a fork instead of using a blender so it keeps a rustic texture that spreads beautifully.
