Step-by-Step Instructions

First, toast your bread to your liking. I like mine golden brown and crispy. Don’t stress – your Avocado Toast with Egg is going to be incredible.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Halve it, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add the lime juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mash with a fork until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine slightly chunky. Pro tip for Avocado Toast with Egg perfection: don’t over-mash!
Now, it’s time to cook your egg. You can fry it, poach it, or even scramble it. I’m a fried egg kind of gal. Add olive oil to a non-stick pan and set over medium heat. Cook the egg to your desired doneness, flipping as needed. In my kitchen, this Avocado Toast with Egg takes exactly 3 minutes to fry an egg to perfection.
Once the toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice. Here’s where most people mess up their Avocado Toast with Egg – but not you! Make sure the avocado covers the whole slice, edge to edge.
Carefully place the cooked egg on top of the avocado toast.
Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning (if using) and a drizzle of hot sauce (if you’re feeling brave!). This is where your Avocado Toast with Egg transforms into pure magic.
Serve immediately and enjoy! While your Avocado Toast with Egg is working its magic, grab your camera – this is Instagram gold!

FAQs

Q: Can I make this Avocado Toast with Egg ahead of time?

A: While the toast is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the avocado mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Squeeze a little extra lime juice over the top to prevent browning. I did this once, and it was a total time-saver for a busy morning!

Q: What if I don’t have lime juice?

A: Lemon juice is a great substitute! It provides a similar acidity that brightens the flavor. I’ve even used a splash of vinegar in a pinch! I would use either of these options for the Avocado Toast with Egg recipe.

Q: How do I know when my avocado is ripe?

A: Gently press near the stem. If it yields slightly to pressure, it’s ready to go! If it’s rock hard, it needs a few more days. I’ve learned to buy avocados a few days in advance to ensure they’re perfectly ripe when I need them.

Q: Can I make this Avocado Toast with Egg vegan?

A: Absolutely! Simply skip the egg and add some crumbled tofu or tempeh for protein. I’ve tried it with crispy chickpeas too, and it was delicious!

Q: What kind of bread is best for Avocado Toast with Egg?

A: That’s entirely up to you! I prefer a hearty sourdough or multigrain, but any bread you enjoy will work. The important thing is to toast it well so it can hold up to the avocado and egg.

Q: Can I make this Avocado Toast with Egg spicier?

A: Absolutely! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the avocado mixture, or use a spicier hot sauce. I personally love to add a few slices of jalapeño for an extra kick. I love hearing community feedback about my Avocado Toast with Egg recipe.

Q: What if I don’t have Everything Bagel Seasoning?

A: No problem! You can use a sprinkle of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and dried onion. Or, just skip it altogether – the Avocado Toast with Egg will still be delicious!
