How to Make:

Quick Overview

This recipe is straightforward and fast: toast a sturdy slice of sourdough, mash a ripe avocado on top, scramble two eggs until tender, and pile on fresh veggies. It balances creamy texture with crunchy toast and vibrant freshness. Prep and cook time are about 10 to 15 minutes total — ideal for busy mornings or a relaxed weekend brunch. The standout element is the contrast between warm, fluffy eggs and cool, creamy avocado.

Ingredients

1 slice sourdough bread, toasted — thick-cut if possible for crunch and structure
1/2 ripe avocado, mashed with a fork until slightly chunky
2 eggs, whisked and scrambled until soft and fluffy
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved — ripe and juicy
2 to 3 slices red onion, thinly sliced for a mild bite
Fresh parsley, chopped — about 1 tablespoon for garnish
Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
Olive oil, optional drizzle (about 1 teaspoon)

Directions

Toast the Bread: Toast a thick slice of sourdough bread until golden and crunchy. Use a toaster or a hot skillet with a little butter or oil for extra flavor. Aim for even browning and a sturdy base that won’t sog once topped.
Mash the Avocado: Smash the avocado onto the toast with a fork. Leave it slightly chunky for texture. Add a pinch of salt and a small squeeze of lemon if you like, then spread to the edges for an even layer.
Scramble the Eggs: Whisk the eggs lightly with a pinch of salt. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat with a little butter or oil. Pour in the eggs and stir gently with a spatula, pushing the curds together and letting them set slowly. Cook until soft and custardy — about 2 to 3 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender.
Top It Off: Layer the scrambled eggs over the avocado, then scatter halved cherry tomatoes and red onion slices across the top. Arrange toppings so every bite gets a mix of flavors.
Garnish and Season: Sprinkle chopped parsley, crack fresh black pepper over everything, and drizzle a little olive oil if desired. Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve immediately while the toast is warm.

Avocado Toast with Scrambled Eggs and Veggies

What to Serve With

A simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette for a light lunch pairing.
Crispy roasted potatoes or oven fries for a heartier brunch.
Fresh fruit salad for a sweet contrast and bright acidity.
A cup of medium-roast coffee or a citrusy iced tea to balance richness.
For a Mediterranean twist, serve alongside marinated olives or a small bowl of hummus.

Top Tips for Perfecting

Use ripe but firm avocados: Too soft and they become mushy on toast; too green and they lack flavor. Look for a slight give when gently squeezed.
Toast well: A sturdy, well-toasted sourdough prevents sogginess and adds a pleasant crunch.
Scramble gently: Low to medium heat and gentle stirring preserve creamy curds. Remove eggs from heat while slightly underdone — they’ll finish cooking on the hot toast.
Add acid: A squeeze of lemon or a few drops of vinegar brightens the avocado and balances the richness.
Flavor boost: Top with crumbled feta, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, or chili flakes for heat. Avoid heavy sauces that overwhelm the clean flavors.
Common mistake: Over-salting the avocado before tasting. Season in small amounts and adjust after eggs and toppings are added.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Refrigeration: Store leftover components separately. Keep mashed avocado in an airtight container with a thin layer of lemon juice to slow browning; use within 24 hours. Scrambled eggs can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
Freezing: The assembled toast does not freeze well due to texture changes. You can freeze scrambled eggs, but expect some texture loss; freeze in small portions for up to 1 month.
Reheating: Reheat scrambled eggs gently in a nonstick pan over low heat with a splash of milk or water to revive creaminess. Toast a fresh slice of bread rather than reheating the original to keep the crunch. Add avocado fresh just before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of bread?
Yes. Whole grain, rye, or a thicker artisan loaf work well. Choose a bread that toasts to a firm, crunchy texture to support the toppings.

What if my avocado is brown?
Trim away the brown parts if only the surface is discolored. If the avocado is mostly brown and tastes off, use a fresh one — flavor matters here.

Can I make this vegan?
Absolutely. Replace scrambled eggs with scrambled tofu seasoned with turmeric, black salt (kala namak) for an egg-like flavor, and a splash of nutritional yeast for depth.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?
Partially. Prep components separately: toast bread when ready to eat, mash avocado fresh, and reheat eggs gently. Assemble just before serving for best texture.

How do I stop the avocado from browning?
Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the avocado surface or add a little lemon juice. Store in an airtight container in the fridge and use within a day.
