Avocado Toast with Scrambled Eggs

Avocado toast with scrambled eggs and veggies became my favorite quick breakfast when I needed something hearty but fast before work. It balances creaminess crispiness and fresh flavors in every bite while being so easy to personalize with whatever produce you have on hand.

The first time I made this recipe, I realized how much better my mornings go with a flavorful breakfast that comes together almost effortlessly.

Ingredients

• Sourdough bread: a sturdy base that stays crisp try to pick a loaf with a golden crust
• Ripe avocado: for creamy texture and healthy fats choose one that yields slightly when pressed
• Eggs: the main protein scrambled fluffy and soft always buy fresh large eggs for best results
• Cherry tomatoes: bring juiciness and a sweet pop halved for brightness pick ones that are firm
• Red onion: gives a gentle bite and crunch slice thin for the best texture
• Fresh parsley: adds color and herbal freshness go for vibrant green bunches
• Salt: enhances the ingredients use flaked sea salt if you have it
• Cracked black pepper: warmth and mild heat freshly ground is best
• Olive oil: gives a glossy finish optional but delicious use extra virgin for deeper flavor

Step-by-Step Instructions

Toast the Bread:

Start by toasting a slice of sourdough bread until it develops a deep golden color and slight crunch. The sturdy texture will keep the toppings from becoming soggy and gives a nice foundation to build on.

Make the Avocado Spread:

Scoop out the flesh of a ripe avocado into a small bowl. Mash it thoroughly with a fork until smooth but still textured. Sprinkle it generously with salt and black pepper to help the flavors pop.

Scramble the Eggs:

Crack two large eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully blended. Pour into a non-stick skillet set over medium heat. Using a spatula gently pull the eggs from the edges towards the center in slow sweeps cooking for three to four minutes. This will yield perfectly soft and fluffy scrambled eggs.

Assemble the Toast:

Spread the seasoned mashed avocado evenly over the warm toasted bread. Carefully spoon the scrambled eggs on top so the steam gently softens the avocado. Arrange cherry tomato halves and red onion slices on top adding bursts of color and freshness.

Finish and Garnish:

Chop fresh parsley and scatter it over your assembled toast. If desired drizzle with a thin thread of olive oil for added richness. Taste and adjust with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper just before serving.

You Must Know

• Packed with protein fiber and good fats for long-lasting energy
• Fits vegetarian diets and can easily be made dairy free
• Freezes are not recommended but leftover eggs store well in the fridge

My favorite part is the avocado picking just the right ripeness always reminds me of weekend trips to the farmers market with my mom. Once my nephew tried this breakfast he started calling it the 'green toast' and now will not eat his eggs any other way.

Storage Tips

Keep leftover scrambled eggs and veggies in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to three days. For best results reheat eggs gently over low heat in a skillet to preserve their fluffiness. The avocado is best when freshly mashed so make that component just before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions

Feel free to swap in whole wheat bread or gluten free bread for the sourdough if you prefer. You can use scallions or chives instead of red onion for a milder taste. Fresh basil works beautifully in place of parsley and a squeeze of lemon over the mashed avocado adds zest if you are craving more brightness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your avocado toast with a side of mixed greens or fruit for a complete meal. For extra crunch scatter toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds over the top. A light sprinkle of crumbled feta or goat cheese can bring creaminess and tang without much effort.

Cultural and Historical Context

Avocado toast has become a symbol of modern brunch but its roots trace back to simple home breakfasts in California and even earlier in South and Central America where avocados have been enjoyed for centuries. Scrambled eggs elevate this everyday favorite and make it more filling and balanced.
