Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Printable)
Creamy avocado meets fresh tomatoes and perfectly boiled eggs atop golden toast for a wholesome breakfast.
# 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 cook for 8 to 10 minutes until hard-boiled. 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 until golden brown and crisp.
03 - Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, then 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.
05 - Cut the tomato into thin slices and layer them over the avocado spread on each toast.
06 - Arrange the sliced hard-boiled egg on top of each toast. Finish with chopped chives or parsley and a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- It takes exactly as long as scrolling through your phone in the morning, which means zero excuses.
- The combination of creamy, tangy, and crunchy hits every texture craving at once.
02 -
- Undercooked eggs are impossible to slice neatly, so err on the side of a full 9 minutes for that firm, golden yolk.
- Soggy toast ruins the whole experience, so assemble right before eating and never let the avocado sit on the bread for more than a minute.
03 -
- Start your eggs in already boiling water rather than cold for more predictable results and easier peeling every single time.
- Mash the avocado with a potato masher if you want a smoother spread, or use a fork and leave it rustic and chunky.
