    Topped with a salad and a fried egg, this is the avocado toast of all avocado toasts. You will want to eat this one every day. It is a great go-to because it’s quick to make and uses fresh, tasty ingredients. This avocado toast is the only recipe you’ll need for a scrumptious breakfast, easy snack, or light dinner.

    Why this Recipe Works

    When avocado is sliced or mashed, it works as a soft spread over a harder texture like toast. It’s creamy and has a neutral flavor that pairs well with many different toppings.

    The avocado has a light, fresh, almost buttery flavor that works perfectly with a tangy dressing like my simple balsamic dressing.

    The sweet bite of tomato is a natural partner for the creamy avocado, and the fried egg seasoned with salt and pepper deepens the savory goodness.

    Ingredients & Substitutions

    Ingredients for avocado toast on a countertop.

    bread - I almost always use sliced, sourdough bread. But you can use any sliced bread that you like.

    dressing - I provide instructions to make this with a balsamic vinaigrette, but you can use any vinaigrette you like.

    butter - Butter adds a flavor that I love in this dish both on the toast and to fry the eggs. It gives the eggs a creamy finish. However, you can substitute with olive oil and even toast the bread in a toaster, instead..

    How to Make this Recipe

    Start by prepping your ingredients: mixing the ingredients for the dressing and dressing the lettuce, slicing the tomato, and slicing the avocado.

    You can watch me make this whole recipe in this Avocado & Egg Toast video story.

    Butter a non-stick pan over medium heat. Toast the bread slices on both sides until golden brown.

    Add a little more butter to the pan. Fry the eggs to your preference. I like them over-medium for this recipe.

    Time to layer: On the toast goes the avocado, then the tomato, fried egg, dressed salad, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

    Avocado Toast FAQs

    What goes well on avocado toast?

    Lettuce, fresh herbs, pesto, chimichurri, egg, furikake, and it's even delicious with a simple sprinkle of salt and pepper.

    How do you save half an avocado?

    Save it in a sealed container with the pit still in it.
