  • Prep ingredients beforehand to speed assembly.

Assemble the toast

Toast the bread until golden. Mash the avocado with salt and pepper. Layer avocado on toast, add tomato slices, then top with soft-scrambled eggs. Serve immediately.

Cook eggs to creamy curds

Keep eggs gently cooked by removing from heat just before fully set; they’ll finish with residual heat. Season to taste with pepper and optional red pepper flakes.

Prep and finish quickly

Prep ingredients in advance: slice tomato, halve avocado, and keep olive oil measured. This keeps assembly quick for a rushed morning.

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 slice whole-grain bread
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1 small tomato
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread until golden and crisp.
  2. Slice the avocado in half, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl.
  3. Mash avocado with a fork until slightly chunky and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Slice the tomato thinly and set aside.
  5. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  6. Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk gently with a pinch of salt until combined.
  7. Pour eggs into the skillet and cook slowly, stirring constantly with a spatula to form soft curds.
  8. Remove eggs from heat when creamy and slightly runny; finish seasoning with pepper and red pepper flakes if using.
  9. Spread mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
  10. Top avocado with sliced tomato, then spoon soft-scrambled eggs over the tomatoes.
  11. Serve immediately and adjust seasoning to taste.

FAQs

Can I modify the eggs for different textures or calories? If you like extra richness, add a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of grated cheese. For a lighter option, use egg whites or fewer yolks.
What can I add or substitute for variety? Yes. You can swap avocado for hummus or cottage cheese, or add greens like arugula for extra nutrients.
How can I ensure the eggs stay creamy? Toast the bread well and don’t overcook the eggs; soft curds should remain creamy off the heat.
