This Avocado Egg Toast on whole grain bread is a quick, nutritious breakfast or snack option featuring creamy mashed avocado, perfectly cooked eggs, and optional garnishes for extra flavor. Toasted bread provides a satisfying crunch, while the lemon juice in the avocado adds a refreshing zest.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs (poached, fried, or scrambled)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast the whole grain bread slices until they turn golden brown and become crispy, providing a sturdy base for the toppings.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado using a fork. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mix until creamy and well combined.
  3. Cook the Eggs (Choose One Method): For poached eggs, bring water to a gentle simmer, crack eggs into a small bowl and gently slide them into the water. Cook for about 4 minutes until whites are set. For fried eggs, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a little oil, cook eggs about 3 minutes per side until desired doneness. For scrambled eggs, whisk eggs in a bowl, pour into heated skillet, and cook while stirring gently until just set.
  4. Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices, then place the cooked eggs on top of each slice.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle red pepper flakes and fresh herbs if desired for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its best.

Notes

  • You can customize the eggs to your preference: poached, fried, or scrambled all work well.
  • Adding lemon juice to the avocado prevents browning and adds a fresh flavor.
  • Use fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to enhance the visual appeal and taste.
  • Red pepper flakes add a nice spicy kick but can be omitted for a milder flavor.
  • Whole grain bread provides extra fiber and nutrients compared to white bread.
