Green Avocado Toast Egg

My roommate first introduced me to avocado toast during our broke college days. She swore by the combination and honestly I thought she was overselling it until that first bite changed everything.

Last winter I started making these every Sunday morning while my apartment stayed quiet and the world moved slowly outside. Now the smell of toasting bread immediately makes me feel cozy and centered.

Ingredients

• Whole grain bread: Choose something hearty that will hold up under the toppings and get nicely crisp in the toaster
• Ripe avocado: The avocado should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not feel mushy
• Lemon juice: This brightens the avocado and prevents browning while adding a subtle tang
• Sea salt and black pepper: Simple seasonings that make the creaminess pop
• Fresh chives: These add a mild onion flavor and beautiful green color
• Large eggs: Room temperature eggs cook more evenly and hold their shape better
• Feta cheese: Salty tangy crumbles that complement the rich avocado perfectly
• Red pepper flakes: Just enough heat to wake up your palate without overwhelming

Instructions

Toast your bread:

Get those slices golden and completely crisp so they will not get soggy under the creamy toppings

Prepare the avocado:

Mash everything together until combined but leave some small chunks for texture

Cook the eggs:

Heat your pan over medium heat and crack the eggs gently. For runny yolks let them cook two to three minutes or go longer if you prefer firm yolks

Assemble the toast:

Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice while the bread is still warm

Add the finishing touches:

Place a hot egg on each toast and sprinkle with feta red pepper flakes and extra pepper

Save

My sister who claimed to hate avocado tried these during her visit last month. She went back for seconds and asked for the recipe before she even left my kitchen.

Bread Matters

Sourdough brings a tangy depth that works beautifully while gluten free options have improved tremendously. Just make sure whatever you choose can handle the weight of the toppings without falling apart.

Egg Perfection

I spent months getting my egg timing right and the difference is worth the practice. Keep the heat at medium and resist the urge to touch them too early.

Make It Your Own

The beauty of this dish is how easily it adapts to what you have on hand or what you are craving. These simple additions can transform the entire flavor profile.

• Sliced radishes add crunch and a lovely peppery bite
• Microgreens bring fresh flavor and elegant presentation
• A rub of fresh garlic on the warm toast takes it to restaurant quality

There is something deeply satisfying about a meal that looks beautiful tastes incredible and takes barely any effort to make.
