How to Make Avocado Toast with Egg
First, slice the bread and toast according to your preferences: You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or standard oven set at 400 degrees F.
Meanwhile, cook your eggs however you like in a pan or skillet:
- Hard-boiled
- Scrambled
- Poached egg
- Fried egg
- Sunny-side-up or over easy
Next, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Then cut each half in half, to create 4 equal sections. Use a fork to smash each avocado section, and then smear the avocado mash flesh over each piece of toast.
Add the cooked egg on top of the avocado-covered pieces of toast.
Then add your preferred toppings and sprinkle on spices in order of the heaviest to lightest ingredients. Enjoy the toast right away.

Top Recipe Tips
- Use ripe avocado for the best flavor and consistency. Choose perfect avocados that are dark green, and have a bit of softness when you give them a gentle squeeze.
- Make this recipe with your favorite gluten-free bread for perfect avocado toast without gluten!
- Don’t under or over-toast the bread… It needs to be sturdy enough to hold toppings, but not so crunchy it crumbles apart when you bite in. Aim for a nice light, golden brown color.
- Don’t overload! It’s tempting, but try to not pile on too many toppings in a large heap. You still want to be able to bite in without knocking everything off. But, should you overdo it a tad, absolutely feel free to use a fork and knife … No judgement here!
- Follow proper layering protocol. Mashed avocado always goes on the bottom to keep the toasted bread dry from any wet-ish ingredients. Then add the eggs, followed by the lighter ingredients. Drizzle a sauce or honey on last.
- Enjoy these avocado toasts right after assembling. You can prep many of the toppings in advance, but make the toast fresh and mash the avocado to order.
