Description
There’s a reason avocado toast has become a staple in so many kitchens. It’s fast, satisfying, and endlessly customizable. This version adds a perfectly cooked egg on top—bringing in protein and richness for a breakfast (or brunch) that’s both nourishing and indulgent. With a toasted slice of hearty bread, creamy mashed avocado, and a yolk that oozes beautifully over it all, this dish hits the sweet spot between simple and special. Perfect for weekday fuel or a lazy Sunday treat.
Ingredients
- 1 slice hearty bread (sourdough or multigrain)
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Toast the bread in a toaster or skillet until golden and crisp.
- Mash the avocado in a bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the egg as desired: fried, soft-boiled, or poached.
- Spread mashed avocado over the toast.
- Top with the cooked egg and season with optional toppings.
