Avocado Toast with Soft-Boiled Egg (Printable Version)

Creamy avocado, perfectly soft-boiled egg, and fresh microgreens on crisp whole grain toast for a nourishing breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain bread

→ Avocado

02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
05 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Eggs

06 - 2 large eggs

→ Toppings

07 - 1/2 cup assorted microgreens
08 - 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
09 - Pinch of red pepper flakes

# Directions:

01 - Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled centers.
02 - Meanwhile, toast the whole grain bread slices to your desired crispness.
03 - Halve and pit the avocado. Mash the flesh in a bowl with lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper until mostly smooth.
04 - When eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of cold water. Peel gently once cool enough to handle.
05 - Spread mashed avocado evenly over each toast slice.
06 - Slice each soft-boiled egg in half and place on top of the avocado toast.
07 - Top with microgreens. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
08 - Serve immediately while toast is still warm and crisp.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's ready in under 20 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday without rushing.
  • The combination of creamy, soft, and crispy textures keeps every bite interesting.
  • You're getting healthy fats, protein, and whole grains without feeling like you're eating something boring.
02 -
  • If your avocado is too firm, you'll end up with chunks instead of a smooth spread, so give it the squeeze test before committing.
  • The eggs must go into already-boiling water or the timing falls apart, so don't skip that step.
03 -
  • Buy avocados two or three days before you plan to make this so you can control the ripeness and avoid the rock-hard or overripe extremes.
  • Keep your eggs in an ice bath for a full minute before peeling, and always peel under running water for the smoothest results.
