My super simple avocado toast with egg is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or an easy dinner. It’s healthy, protein-packed, and so easy to customize (lots of tips below!).
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. You’ll mash avocado on 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 (lots of suggestions are below).

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.

Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Storing leftover avocado: If you still have it, leave the pit in, and then cover the cut side tightly with plastic wrap. To be extra safe, add a little fresh lemon or lime juice to the flesh before covering it with plastic. Keep it in the fridge for up to a day (you might get lucky with two days).
- Egg: We use hard-boiled eggs, but feel free to substitute with fried, poached, scrambled, or soft-boiled.

I love this recipe. So simple but packed with flavor. I’m already thinking of other ingredients to try tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
I loved these toasts. I smashed those avocados so hard I could really taste it.
For your avacado toast recipe with sliced boiled eggs on top, what about cheese. I think I would like some cheese on there too. How would you incorporate some cheese I to it, along with the avacado and boiled eggs on toast?
Hi Meredith, Cheese is a great idea. I love feta!
This is my new favorite thing! My doctor told me I need protein with breakfast, so I’ve started to make this a couple of days per week. It’s so easy, yummy, healthy and filling. Thanks for sharing!
Just discovered your channel, i am overboard with excitement to try your recipes
Is there a peticular bread to use with avocado toast?
You can use whatever bread you love. I particularly love a hearty bread (I usually get it from a local bakery).
I usually use finely diced red onion in smashed avocado 1/2 top. and a slice of fresh tomato on top of avocado. Delish!!!
Wow!Simple and quick to make and pure delight to eat.Thank you.
