Avocado toast works brilliantly for breakfast, lunch, and even for dinner. The star of this toast is the avocado, so it’s essential you use ripe avocados. Nobody likes slicing into an avocado and finding it’s underripe or worse, brown.
A hard-boiled egg adds protein and significant sticking power. We love that the eggs can be made well in advance. Did you know that you can store hard-boiled eggs up to a week? By investing 15 minutes earlier in the week, we can have a batch of boiled eggs ready in the fridge, which means we can make this avocado toast in under 5 minutes. A perfect breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Ingredients1 slice of bread, toasted
1/2 ripe medium avocado
Small squeeze fresh lemon juice
1 hard-boiled egg, see our tutorial for how to cook hard-boiled eggs
Favorite pepper blend, we use Togarashi seasoning
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
Method* Use a fork to smash the avocado down onto the toasted bread slice.
* Scatter a small squeeze of lemon juice over the avocado.
* Slice the hard-boiled egg into coins, and then place them on top of the smashed avocado.
* Finish by sprinkling a little pepper, salt, and a very light drizzle of olive oil on top of the egg.
