Let’s Get Cooking: How to Make Avocado Toast with Egg
Alright, let’s dive into the seamless process of making avocado toast with egg that’ll have you and your loved ones coming back for seconds!
Melt the butter: In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt your glorious teaspoon of buttery goodness. It’s gonna waft the most amazing aroma into your kitchen. Trust me!
Crack the eggs: Now, crack the eggs right into the skillet, side by side. Cook ’em until the whites are, well, white and set enough to flip, about 2 to 3 minutes is all you need here.
Flip ’em: Give those eggs a careful flip, but hey, try not to crack those yolks! Let them cook until they reach your desired doneness, which might take an additional 2 to 5 minutes if you like them a little firmer.
Toast the bread: While the eggs are cooking to perfection, pop your slices of multigrain bread into the toaster. A good 3 to 5 minutes should get them golden brown.
Mash it up: In a bowl, mash that ripe avocado! Add in the lemon juice, cayenne pepper (if using), and a couple of pinches of sea salt. It should be creamy and delightful!
Spread & assemble: Once everything is ready, spread that scrumptious avocado mixture onto the toasted slices. Top with a fried egg, and of course, season with a sprinkle of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. There you have it, simple, delicious, and visually gorgeous!

Storage and Reheating Tips
- How long does it keep? I recommend enjoying this dish fresh. However, if you have leftover ingredients, store your avocado mixture separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Reheating eggs? Honestly, I think eggs are best enjoyed fresh, but if you absolutely must, gently reheat them in the microwave just until warmed. Keep the toast separate, so it doesn’t get soggy.
- Is it freezer friendly? Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe as avocados don’t freeze well, and the quality of the toast tends to suffer.
So there you have it! The ultra-simple, incredibly tasty Avocado Toast with Egg recipe you’ll be reaching for again and again. It’s perfect for busy mornings, lengthy weekend breakfasts, or just a wholesome meal that your whole family will enjoy!
