Ingredients Breakdown
To whip up your scrumptious avocado toast, you’ll need the following simple ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon butter: A little richness never hurt anybody!
- 2 large eggs: Packed with protein, they really amp up the meal.
- 2 slices of multigrain bread: I love the texture and flavor, go for whatever you have on hand!
- 1 ripe avocado: The star of the show! Make sure it’s creamy and ripe for that smooth texture.
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice: Adds a zesty brightness.
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper: If you want a little kick, this is perfect!
- Sea salt, to taste: Always add a couple pinches to enhance flavor.
- Ground black pepper, to taste: A must for that finishing touch.
Ingredient Variations
Feel free to experiment! Swap the multigrain bread for sourdough or even a bagel. Instead of regular eggs, try poached or scrambled. Got some cherry tomatoes or radishes lurking in your fridge? Toss those on top for a crunchy, colorful finish! Trust me this avocado toast will shine with whatever you’ve got on hand.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Heat That Skillet
Start by melting the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. You want it hot enough to sizzle just a little but not so hot that it burns, about 1-2 minutes should do.
Step 2: Egg It Up!
Now crack those 2 large eggs into the skillet, letting them cook until the whites are set, this should take about 2-3 minutes. The smell? Absolutely mouthwatering.
Step 3: Flip and Finish
Carefully flip the eggs and cook them to your desired doneness, anywhere from another 2-5 minutes will work perfectly. You want that yolk just slightly runny, am I right? Think golden sunshine!
Step 4: Toast ‘Em
While the eggs are cooking, toss your multigrain bread into the toaster. You’re aiming for that golden brown perfection, just a couple minutes will do. Trust me; the crispy base is essential for this tasty topping!
Step 5: Mash That Avocado
In a small bowl, mash your ripe avocado with the lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and season with a couple pinches of sea salt. You want it smooth and creamy, ready to spread generously.
Step 6: Assemble Your Masterpiece
Spread that luscious avocado mixture onto your toasted slices. Top each with a fried egg and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. The best part? Each bite is a delightful mix of creamy, crunchy, and deliciousness!

You can serve this avocado toast with a side of fresh fruit or even a light salad for a more complete meal! It makes for a great brunch dish if you’re hosting friends or family.
Storage
This dish is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store the mashed avocado in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Just be aware the avocado might brown a bit, but a dash of lemon juice can help retain some color.
Reheating
As for the eggs and toast? Best to make those fresh! The bread will lose its crunch in the microwave. I recommend popping the toast back in the toaster for a quick refreshing toast if needed.
Freezer Friendly?
Eh, I wouldn’t recommend freezing this one. Eggs and avocado just don’t play well after freezing, better fresh!
