Avocado Toast With Tomato And Egg (Printable)

Crispy toasted bread layered with mashed avocado, fresh tomato, and sliced hard-boiled eggs for a quick nutritious meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread

→ Avocado Mixture

02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

05 - 2 large eggs, hard-boiled and sliced
06 - 1 medium tomato, sliced
07 - 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
08 - Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or basil), for garnish
09 - Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover the pan, remove from heat, and let stand for 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then peel and slice into rounds.
02 - Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
03 - While the bread is toasting, halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl and add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until the mixture is creamy but still retains some texture.
04 - Divide the mashed avocado evenly and spread it across both toasted bread slices, pressing gently to adhere. Layer tomato slices over the avocado, then arrange the sliced hard-boiled eggs on top.
05 - Drizzle with olive oil if desired. Season with additional salt, pepper, fresh herbs, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The textures play off each other beautifully, from the crunch of toast to the silky avocado and tender egg slices.
  • It works for breakfast, brunch, or even a lazy dinner when cooking feels like too much.
02 -
  • Rubbing the warm toast with a cut garlic clove before adding the avocado creates a subtle savory depth that is completely addictive.
  • An avocado that is slightly underripe will not mash well and will taste flat, so patience at the grocery store really pays off here.
03 -
  • Slice the eggs with a sharp knife dipped in water to get clean cuts without dragging the yolk.
  • Season each layer separately, the avocado, the tomato, and the egg, rather than only on top, for a more balanced bite throughout.
