There’s a reason avocado toast became so popular! I fell in love years ago and have been making it at home ever since. Even my 3-year-old is obsessed! This simple avocado toast recipe with egg is a no-fuss option with significant staying power thanks to the protein in the egg.

Key Ingredients
Bread: When I have it in the house, I love a thick slice of sourdough bread. Otherwise, I go with whole grain or sprouted bread. Use what you love! Avocado: Look for firm but ripe avocados. They should yield to gentle pressure and have slightly bumpy skin. I like to check the stem. It should be dark and easy to remove, revealing bright green underneath. Seasonings: I give a few more suggestions below, but I love a spritz of fresh lemon juice, flaked sea salt (like Maldon sea salt), and a little spice. In our photos, we used Togarashi seasoning, a Japanese seasoning with citrus, red chili peppers, and sesame seeds. It’s excellent with the creamy avocado, but if you have a favorite seasoning blend, use it! Egg: I love adding a hard-boiled egg to my avocado toast (see our photo!), but feel free to cook your egg any way you like. Here are our recipes for scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, and poached eggs.
How to Make Avocado Toast
Mash your avocado on your toasted bread. Add your cooked egg. Squeeze on some fresh lemon juice for freshness and season generously with salt and pepper. Or use your favorite avocado toast seasoning (suggestions below).
