Avocado Toast with Soft-Boiled Eggs

Print Recipe

A quick and satisfying avocado toast topped with soft-boiled eggs, perfect for breakfast or lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices hearty bread (sourdough or whole grain)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (or lime)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like chives or parsley (optional)
  • Everything bagel seasoning or sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water.
  2. Lower the eggs into the boiling water with a spoon. Boil for 6–7 minutes for jammy yolks.
  3. Move eggs to the ice water to stop cooking. Let sit 2 minutes, then peel carefully.
  4. While eggs cook, toast the bread until crisp and golden.
  5. In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust.
  6. Spread the avocado on warm toast. Drizzle a little olive oil if you like.
  7. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add herbs or seeds. Serve right away.

Notes

For a runnier yolk, boil for 6 minutes; for firmer jammy yolk, boil for 7-7½ minutes. Peel eggs under running water for easy removal.
