Hey everyone! I’m always on the lookout for quick, satisfying breakfasts and snacks, and this Guacamole Egg Toast has become a total go-to. It’s seriously so easy to whip up, packed with flavour, and honestly, feels a little bit fancy for a weekday morning. I first made this when I was craving something different from my usual poha, and it’s been a regular ever since! Let’s get into it, shall we?

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This isn’t just another toast recipe. The creamy guacamole paired with the protein-packed egg is a match made in heaven. It’s a fantastic way to start your day, or a perfect afternoon pick-me-up when you need something satisfying. Plus, it comes together in under 15 minutes – perfect for busy mornings! It’s a delightful fusion of flavours and textures that’s both comforting and exciting.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious Guacamole Egg Toast:

• 2 slices Organic 100% Rye bread (or any bread you like!)
• 1 Hard boiled egg
• As needed Guacamole (homemade or store-bought)
• To taste Pepper powder
• To taste Salt
• 1 tsp Oil or Butter

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk ingredients! A few little things can make a big difference.

• Rye Bread: I love using rye bread for this because of its slightly tangy flavour and hearty texture. It’s also a good source of fibre! But honestly, any bread works – sourdough, whole wheat, even white bread if that’s what you have.
• Guacamole: Feel free to use your favourite guacamole recipe! I’ve linked one below, but a good quality store-bought version works perfectly well when you’re short on time. Making your own allows you to control the spice level and freshness, though.
• Egg Quality: Using good quality eggs really shines through in this recipe. If you can, opt for organic or free-range eggs for a richer flavour and vibrant yolk.
• Spice it up: Don’t be shy with the pepper! A little goes a long way in balancing the creaminess of the avocado and egg.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get cooking!

1. First things first, prepare your guacamole. Use your favourite recipe or grab a store-bought version.
2. Next, let’s hard boil the egg. Place the egg in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and simmer for about 12 minutes. Once cooked, cool it under cold running water, peel, and dice it up.
3. In a bowl, gently mix the diced egg with the guacamole. Give it a little taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
4. Now, let’s toast the bread! Heat a little oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Toast the bread slices until they’re golden brown and crispy.
5. Generously spread the guacamole-egg mixture onto the toasted bread. Don’t skimp – this is the best part!
6. Optional: If you’re feeling fancy (and I usually am!), add some lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion for a closed sandwich.

Expert Tips

Here are a few things I’ve learned while making this recipe:

• Toast Level: Don’t be afraid to toast your bread to your liking. I prefer mine nice and crispy, but slightly softer toast works well too.
• Guacamole Consistency: If your guacamole is a little too thick, add a squeeze of lime juice to loosen it up.
• Egg Size: The amount of egg you use will depend on the size of the egg and your preference. I usually use one large egg for two slices of toast.

Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are a few ideas:

• Vegan Avocado Toast: Skip the egg and just enjoy the guacamole on toast! It’s equally delicious. My friend, Priya, swears by adding a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
• Gluten-Free: Simply use your favourite gluten-free bread. There are some amazing gluten-free options available these days.
• Spice Level: Add a pinch of chili flakes to the guacamole for a little extra heat. My brother loves this!
• Brunch Options: Serve this with a side of fresh fruit and a cup of chai for a delightful brunch spread. It’s always a hit when I have guests over.

Serving Suggestions

This Guacamole Egg Toast is fantastic on its own, but here are a few ideas to complete the meal:

• A side of fresh fruit like berries or sliced oranges.
• A small green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• A cup of hot chai or coffee.

Storage Instructions

This is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers…

• Guacamole: Store leftover guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To prevent browning, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole. It’s best used within a day or two.
• Assembled Toast: Honestly, the toast gets soggy quickly, so I don’t recommend storing assembled toast.

FAQs

Let’s answer some common questions:

• Is this a good make-ahead breakfast option? Not really, as the toast will get soggy. However, you can hard boil the eggs and prepare the guacamole the night before to save time in the morning.
• Can I use a different type of bread? Absolutely! Feel free to use any bread you like – sourdough, whole wheat, multigrain, etc.
• What’s the best way to hard boil an egg? I find simmering for 12 minutes works perfectly every time. Starting with cold water helps prevent cracking.
• Can I add other toppings to this toast? Definitely! Get creative with it. Some other great toppings include sliced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, or a drizzle of hot sauce.
• How long does guacamole egg toast stay fresh? Best enjoyed immediately. The guacamole will oxidize and the toast will get soggy after a while.
