A Recipe For Simple Avocado Toast

Good morning sunshine! I hear you’re looking for a breakfast recipe that’s easy! Well, check out this simple avocado toast!

Yummy, creamy, healthy, and SUPER delicious! Is it the best avocado toast? Yep…. for breakfast, I’d have to say so! (or, one of them, anyway!!!)

SIMPLE AVOCADO TOAST

One of my most favorite ways to use avocado is of course, in guacamole, or in a salad like this Beet, Avocado and Feta Cheese Salad I made,  but also by making this simple Avocado Toast recipe. It’s almost not even a recipe; it’s more of just an assembly of ingredients. 

An avocado and egg breakfast is nothing new, right? I know, there are tons of ways to have that flavor combination, but when you make it this way, – on toast – it’s even better. Why is it better on bread?

Why I love this Avocado Recipe 

• It’s quick to make (Perfect for when you’re hangry!)
• It’s full of good fats, proteins, fiber. (The avocado has about 5 grams of fiber alone, so when you add the bread, that really stacks up.)
• It’s pretty darn handy to just hold it and eat it while you’re getting ready!

 The Ingredient List

I’ll bet you have it all in the pantry right now: 

• Eggs – I like to use extra large eggs from a local producer to has free range hens. They forage on grass and bugs along with their usual feed, so the yolks tend to be higher in nutrition.
• Avocado: Choose the ripest and freshest that you can.
• Bread – Using a good whole wheat or seedy bread is a great choice here. White bread sometimes doesn’t have the ‘heft’ or structure to hold all the ingredients on top without getting flattened.
• Butter (optional, but highly recommended!)
• Everything but the bagel topping (also optional)

Making This Easy Avocado Toast Breakfast 

First, you make your scrambled eggs. I used four eggs here (for two people). Scramble the eggs in your favorite way.

I like scrambled eggs with big pieces of egg, not fine pieces, so I don’t stir them a lot when they hit the pan. I basically use a spatula and fold them around the pan occasionally to move the liquid egg around.

Also, adding some pepper and thyme to the eggs while cooking is a great idea, but don’t salt your eggs until after the cooking process has finished.

Meanwhile, while the eggs are cooking, toast your bread. 

When the toast is toasted, place the scrambled eggs, divided in half, on top of the toast.  You could butter your toast if you wish, but the avocado has a lot of good fats in it, so I’m not sure it needs the butter.

Then slice your avocado in half, remove the pit. With a knife, carefully cut the halves into long slices, lengthwise, then using a spoon, scoop them out of the avocado peel and place them on top of the eggs.

If you have a favorite topping (I used Everything Bagel seasoning), top the avocado with it. If you don’t have that seasoning on hand, a combination of the following will be perfect sprinkled on top. 

• Sesame seeds
• dehydrated garlic
• salt and pepper
• minced red onion
• bacon bits
• minced radish
• seasoning salt
• fresh herbs

It’s really endless, the possible combinations that can be made with this concept. I recently discovered that if you top the whole works with homemade bruschetta, it’s absolutely amazing!

You could use avocado with a poached egg because if you made the yolk a bit softer, then the yolk acts almost like dressing over the toast. That toast sopping up the egg yolk with a nice bite of fresh avocado would be delicious!
