Avocado egg toast is one of my favorite quick meals because it’s simple, nourishing, and endlessly satisfying. I like how creamy avocado pairs with eggs and crisp toast to create something that feels both comforting and fresh. It works perfectly for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner when I want something easy but filling.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

bread slices
ripe avocado
eggs
olive oil or butter
salt
black pepper
red pepper flakes (optional)
lemon juice (optional)

Directions

I start by toasting the bread until it’s golden and crisp. While the bread toasts, I cook the eggs the way I like them, usually fried or poached. I mash the avocado in a bowl with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice if I want brightness. I spread the avocado generously over the toast, then place the eggs on top. I finish with extra seasoning and red pepper flakes if I want a little heat.

Servings and Timing

I usually make this recipe to serve 1 to 2 people.
Preparation time: about 5 minutes
Cooking time: about 5 minutes
Total time: approximately 10 minutes

Variations

I sometimes add sliced tomatoes, radishes, or microgreens for extra freshness. When I want more protein, I add smoked salmon . I also enjoy switching the eggs to scrambled or soft-boiled depending on texture. Whole-grain or sourdough bread works especially well for added flavor.

Storage/Reheating

I prefer eating avocado egg toast fresh, but I can store mashed avocado in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day with lemon juice to prevent browning. I reheat eggs gently if needed, though I usually cook them fresh for the best texture.
