Ingredients in avocado toast

All you need are a few slices of your favorite bread, feta, tomato, and eggs (plus a few other ingredients if you want to switch things up). Let’s take a minute to break down the ingredients.

Toast (whole wheat or whole grain). Feel to to use any of your favorite bread or toast. I like using fresh whole grain bread or a crunchy rustic loaf.

Avocado, of course! Make sure to use ripe avocados as they are perfect for mashing. Mash the avocado on a plate with a fork to get the best consistency.

Feta adds a tangy and salty flavor. It really adds so much flavor to this recipe. If you aren’t a fan of feta feel free to use another cheese of your choice. Pepper jack and cheddar are two other great options.

Tomatoes are slightly sweet and tart and they pair nicely with the avocado and feta. Grape tomatoes (sliced in half) work best. However, feel free to use other kinds like roma, beef steak or tomatoes on the vine.

Fried egg on top of avocado toast is a must. It also adds protein! Cook your eggs in a pan with a little but of oil to crisp them up.

Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Avocado toast (with egg) always needs a pinch of salt, pepper and red pepper flakes!

How to make avocado toast with egg

Making avocado toast with egg requires a few simple steps that I have outlined down below.

Cook the eggs. Start out by cooking the eggs as these take the longest. Grab a medium pan and coat it with oil. Put the pan over medium heat and crack 4 eggs into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then flip to cook the other side. Cook the egg to your liking.

Toast your bread. Add your bread to your toaster and cook until lightly browned and firm.

Mash the avocado. Slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Using a large spoon, scoop out the avocado flesh, add it to a bowl or a plate and mash it with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Now spread the avocado on top of the toast.

Now add the feta and tomato to the toast. Make sure to slice the grape tomatoes in half and crumble the feta (if not already crumbled or chopped).

Top toast with an egg! Add the fried egg on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Avocado nutrition

Not only are avocados a great addition to so many meals and snacks but they are also loaded with many nutritional benefits. Let’s take a few minutes to break down some benefits of avocado.

They are high in fiber (which can help with digestion).

Avocados are packed with healthy fats. Monounsaturated fats can help aid in an overall healthy lifestyle. These types of fats are found in nuts, seeds, olive oil (and avocados!)

They are rich in folate which is an essential nutrient for our bodies.

Use ripe avocado. Ensure your avocado is ripe as it has the best flavor and texture. Also, it makes it super easy to mash to get the right consistency.

Add salt and pepper. Seasonings are key! This recipe calls for a pinch of salt and pepper.

Use a nice bread. Since bread is the base of this avocado toast, make sure to use a nice quality loaf. A fresh whole grain loaf or a crunchy rustic loaf are great options.
