Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Printable)
Creamy avocado on toast with fresh tomato slices and protein-rich hard-boiled eggs for a satisfying breakfast.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
→ Avocado Spread
02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Toppings
05 - 1 medium ripe tomato, thinly sliced
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
08 - Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
09 - Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
# How to Cook:
01 - Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 9 to 10 minutes for a firm hard-boiled center. Transfer eggs to a bowl of cold running water to cool, then peel and slice into rounds.
02 - While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
03 - Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl and mash with a fork along with the lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and creamy.
04 - Divide the mashed avocado evenly between the two toasted bread slices, spreading it in an even layer across each slice.
05 - Arrange the thinly sliced tomato over the avocado layer, then place the sliced hard-boiled egg on top. Drizzle with olive oil if desired.
06 - Finish with a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley and crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- It takes almost no effort but looks like you spent real time on it, which makes it perfect for lazy mornings when you still want to feel accomplished.
- The combination of creamy avocado, juicy tomato, and hearty egg keeps you full for hours without weighing you down.
02 -
- Do not skip the lemon juice in the mash or your avocado will turn an unappetizing brown within minutes, especially if you are not serving immediately.
- Letting the boiled eggs cool completely before slicing prevents the yolk from crumbling apart and makes for neater layers.
03 -
- A pinch of flaky sea salt on top of everything right before serving adds a satisfying crunch that regular table salt simply cannot replicate.
- Rolling the boiled eggs gently on the counter before peeling cracks the shell into tiny pieces that come off in one satisfying pull instead of a thousand frustrating fragments.
