How to Make Avocado Toast with Fried Eggs
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Toast the Bread: Golden and crispy is what you’re going for.
-
Mash the Avocado: In a bowl, mash your avocado with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon (totally optional, but I love the brightness).
-
Fry the Eggs: Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack in your eggs and cook until the whites are set but yolks are still runny—sunny-side up is the dream here!
-
Assemble: Spread the mashed avocado on your warm toast. Top each slice with a fried egg.
-
Season & Serve: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any add-ons you like (I’m partial to chili flakes and a few chives!).
What to Serve with This Breakfast Beauty

A cup of bold coffee or matcha
-
A side of fresh berries or sliced citrus
-
Greek yogurt with honey and granola
-
A glass of fresh orange or green juice
Tips for Making the Best Avocado Toast
-
Use ripe avocados (they should yield to gentle pressure).
-
Toast your bread right before serving—it makes all the difference!
-
Keep eggs on medium heat to avoid overcooking the yolks.
-
Want to level up? Add a soft-boiled egg instead for extra yolk drama!
How to Store Leftovers
Honestly? This dish is best fresh. But if needed:
-
Avocado mash can be stored with a bit of lemon juice in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
-
Eggs don’t reheat well, so only fry what you’ll eat.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep the avocado and toast, but cook the eggs just before eating.

Use gluten-free bread, and you're golden!
What’s the best bread to use?
Sourdough, whole grain, or rye hold up beautifully and add extra texture.
