This delicious Loaded Egg Toast comes together in about 20 minutes and is baked to perfection on a sheet pan for a quick and easy breakfast that your family will love!
Ingredients
Let’s break down what you’ll need for this loaded egg toast. It’s a simple lineup of ingredients, perfectly customizable to fit whatever you have on hand!
- 1 crusty bread loaf, cut into six 1-inch slices: (Think sourdough or a rustic country loaf, it really makes a difference!)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil: (For drizzling and that lovely, golden-brown finish!)
- 7 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk: (Feel free to substitute with any milk you have.)
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- A couple dashes hot sauce: (Because why not add a little kick?)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives: (Adds great flavor and a splash of color!)
- 3 medium avocados, thinly sliced
- Optional toppings: pickled jalapeños, pickled onions, shredded cheese, sliced radish, salsa (I get it, options are endless!)
Let’s Get Cooking!
1. Preheat the Oven
Before you do anything else, preheat your oven to broil. While that’s heating up, arrange those beautiful bread slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle them with olive oil and then pop the sheet in the oven. Keep an eye on it and broil until golden brown, which takes about 1 minute per side. Seriously, this is the easiest part!
2. Whisk the Egg Mixture
In a bowl (you can use any mixing bowl), whisk together those eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and a couple dashes of hot sauce until fluffy. I dunno about you, but I love seeing those air bubbles; it means the eggs are going to be light and fluffy!
3. Cook the Eggs
Now, grab a skillet and heat it over low heat. Melt the butter and swirl it around until it coats the pan. Add the egg mixture and gently stir with a spatula. You want to cook those eggs slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes. The goal is to get the eggs nearly set before you mix in the cheese and chives. Trust me, this is where the magic happens!
4. Assemble Your Toast
Once your bread is toasted and your eggs are cooked to perfection, it’s time to assemble! Top each toasted slice with a layer of the thin avocado slices followed by a generous scoop of the cheesy egg mixture. Go wild with those optional toppings, pickled jalapeños or salsa are my personal faves! Serve immediately before the toast gets soggy, and enjoy the magic of convenience.
Oh! And the other day, my kids devoured this, asking for seconds like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Now that’s saying something! Plus, when you can whip this up in 20 minutes, it quickly becomes a weeknight dinner hero!

Quick & Easy
One of the biggest wins here? This loaded egg toast comes together in under 30 minutes. Perfect for a busy morning or even a late breakfast on the weekends!

Not a fan of endless dishes? Me neither! This dish requires just one pan for the eggs and one baking sheet for the toast. Less clean-up means more time spent enjoying brunch with family!
Comfort Food
Let’s face it, this dish is pure comfort food. The combination of rich eggs, creamy avocado, and warm, crunchy bread creates a dish loaded with tons of flavor. You’ll want to cozy up with this every weekend!
Budget-Friendly
Using basic and affordable ingredients, loaded egg toast is an excellent option for families looking to stretch their grocery budgets. Plus, you can use up whatever you have on hand, adding veggies or any leftover proteins!

Serving and Storage Tips
How to Serve This Loaded Egg Toast
Serve these toasty delights fresh off the pan and don’t forget to encourage everyone to top theirs with all the fun extras you can think of. As a side, serve a vibrant green salad or some juicy fruit to balance out all that richness!
Storage
If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), store any components separately in airtight containers in the fridge. The egg mixture will keep well for 2-3 days, but I would advise against stacking the toast once assembled unless you enjoy soggy bread.
Reheating Instructions
To reheat, gently microwave the egg (for about 30 seconds or until warmed through) and toast a slice of bread again in the oven or toaster to reinvigorate its crispness.
Freezer Friendly?
Not so much. Eggs can get a bit tricky when frozen and then reheated, affecting that lovely texture we all love.
So, next time you’re itching for a quick, scrumptious breakfast, remember to give this loaded egg toast a try! It’s simplicity paired with heartiness, and I can guarantee it’ll be a hit in your home too. Whether you whip it up for a lazy Sunday brunch or a busy Tuesday morning, you really can’t go wrong!
