Ingredients
Scale
For the Toast
- 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread, toasted
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Toppings
- 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- Optional: red pepper flakes
- Optional: everything bagel seasoning
- Optional: chopped chives
- Optional: olive oil drizzle
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispness to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Prepare Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice along with salt and black pepper to taste. Mash the avocado until it is mostly smooth, creating a creamy spread.
- Spread Avocado: Evenly spread the mashed avocado over each slice of toasted bread, ensuring full coverage for rich flavor and texture.
- Grate Hard-Boiled Eggs: Using a microplane or fine grater, grate the peeled hard-boiled eggs directly over the avocado-covered toast. This adds a delicate texture and protein boost to the dish.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle optional toppings such as red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, or chopped chives over the toast. Finish with an optional drizzle of olive oil for added richness.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the grated egg and avocado toast right away to enjoy the crisp toast and fresh flavors at their best.
Notes
- For extra protein, add a layer of hummus under the avocado or top with hemp seeds.
- Use gluten-free bread if needed to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Ripe avocados will produce the best creamy texture; avoid underripe fruit.
