Creamy avocado on toasted bread with simple seasoning, ready in under 10 minutes.
Avo's Tip
Use ripe but firm avocados so the mash stays creamy without becoming watery.
No avocado? White bean mash with lemon and olive oil makes a creamy, high-protein base.
Different bread? Any hearty slice works — rye, whole wheat, or a seedy loaf all hold up.
No red pepper flakes? Everything bagel seasoning or za'atar both work beautifully here.

Ingredients
1
1 large egg
2
½ ripe avocado
3
2 cherry tomatoes, sliced (red and yellow)
4
microgreens or sprouts (optional)
5
1 tsp lemon juice
6
½ tsp flaky sea salt
7
1 pinch of black pepper, to taste
8
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
9
1 slice artisan bread (such as sourdough), toasted
Instructions
1
Toast the bread until golden and crisp on the outside while still tender in the center.
2
Mash the avocado in a small bowl with a pinch of flaky salt and black pepper.
3
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and poach the egg until the white is set and the yolk remains soft, about 3 minutes.
4
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toast.
5
Top with sliced cherry tomatoes and microgreens.
6
Place the poached egg on top and finish with red pepper flakes, a drizzle of olive oil, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
Quick Fixes
Avocado not creamy: If it's underripe, mash with a tiny drizzle of olive oil and extra salt — it helps smooth the texture.
Poached egg falling apart: Add a splash of white vinegar to the water and swirl before dropping the egg in.
