Topped with a salad and fried egg, this ultimate avocado toast with egg is the one to beat all avocado toasts. You will want to eat this one every day! No need for expensive cafe versions, you can make this at home in just 15 minutes.
Quick and simple – This recipe takes 15 minutes to make and no fancy equipment is required.
Customizable – Mix and match the toppings in this recipe to make your dream avocado toast. Add on cheese, pesto, honey… let your tastebuds run wild!
Balanced flavors – 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.
Kick-ass dressing! – This tangy simple balsamic dressing works amazingly well with the light, almost buttery flavor of avocado.
🧾 Ingredients in This Recipe
Fresh avocado – Make sure your avocado is ripe and ready to eat. A ripe avocado will feel firm and not mushy. If you’re a huge fan of avocado, you’ll love this Pesto & Avocado Pasta Salad.
Your choice of bread – I almost always use sliced, sourdough bread. But you can use any sliced bread that you like.
Dressing or spread – I provide instructions to make this with a twist on a balsamic vinaigrette, but you can use any vinaigrette.
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.
Egg – I choose to make a fried egg with this recipe, but you could choose scrambled or hard-boiled and sliced if you like. If you love topping things with a fried egg, try this Savory Miso Oatmeal.
👩🍳How to Make This Recipe
Start by prepping your ingredients. Mix the balsamic vinaigrette, olive oil, mustard seeds (or Dijon), and salt and pepper for the dressing. Then, thinly slice the tomato, and avocado.
Butter a non-stick pan well and place it over medium heat. Toast your bread slices for a few minutes on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
⭐️Pro Tip
Be generous with the butter to grease the pan and make flipping your eggs much easier. A great non-stick pan and a non-stick spatula also help to ensure no sticking or burning.
Add a little more butter to the same pan. Fry the eggs to your preference, over easy, over medium, or over hard. I like them over-medium for this recipe to get that oozy egg!
Time to layer your ingredients. On the toast goes the avocado, then the tomato, fried egg, the balsamic-dressed salad, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Enjoy your avocado toast! If you’re feeling extra special, pair it with a fun beverage like a lavender matcha latte or add some extra heartiness with a matcha oatmeal latte, a cross between a matcha latte and oatmeal. You can also enjoy it with a simple but perfect Persian tea.
