Description
Avocado toast with egg is a quick, customizable meal that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. Choose from fried, scrambled, boiled, or poached eggs for a nutritious and delicious topping.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar (if making poached eggs)
- 1/4 small (1 oz) ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 slice whole grain bread or bread of choice
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: pickled red onions, feta cheese, fresh herbs, everything bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes, hot sauce, sriracha sauce
Instructions
1. Fried eggs: Spray cooking spray in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Gently crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook until the egg sets and the yolk is to your liking.
2. Scrambled eggs: Whisk eggs in a small bowl with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a small nonstick pan over medium heat, spray with oil, and pour in the eggs. Stir and fold the eggs until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Hard boiled eggs: Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil, then gently lower the eggs into the water. Simmer gently for 13 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel.
4. Poached eggs: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Stir in vinegar and create a vortex. Crack one egg into the center and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
5. Meanwhile, mash the avocado with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl or plate.
6. Toast the bread in a toaster or in a pan with butter over medium-high heat. For crowds, toast in the oven at 400ºF for 8-10 minutes.
7. To assemble, spread mashed avocado over toast. Top with egg(s), season with salt and pepper, and add desired toppings. Serve immediately.
Notes
Serving size is one slice of toast with two eggs and 1/4 of a small avocado. Scale as needed.
Mash avocado to desired texture or use sliced avocado instead.
To reduce fat, use only egg whites or remove yolks from hard-boiled eggs.
For perfectly ripe avocados, remove the stem — green means ripe, brown means overripe.
