Avocado Toast With Tomato And Hard Boiled Egg (Print View)
A fresh and satisfying breakfast featuring creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, and protein-packed hard-boiled eggs atop crisp whole grain toast.
# What You Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
→ Eggs
02 - 2 large eggs
→ Vegetables & Toppings
03 - 1 ripe avocado
04 - 1 medium ripe tomato
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)
06 - 1/2 lemon, juiced
→ Seasoning
07 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
08 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
09 - 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Transfer immediately to an ice bath or cold water to stop cooking. Peel and slice into rounds once cooled.
02 - While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crisp.
03 - Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving some texture. Season with fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to taste.
04 - Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
05 - Slice the tomato into thin rounds and layer them over the avocado. Top each toast with the sliced hard-boiled egg.
06 - Finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crisp.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes exactly as long as brewing a pot of coffee, which means no hungry pacing around the kitchen.
- The combination of creamy, crunchy, juicy, and rich hits every texture craving at once.
- You almost certainly have everything you need in your kitchen right now.
02 -
- Underripe avocado will not mash properly and will instead slide off the toast in one sad rubbery piece.
- Adding lemon juice directly to the avocado rather than on top of the finished toast preserves the bright green color twice as long.
03 -
- Start your eggs in already boiling water rather than cold for more predictable timing and easier peeling every single time.
- Season in layers, meaning salt the avocado, salt the tomato, and finish with flaky salt on top, because one big pinch at the end never distributes evenly.
