Recipe highlights

• This is quick breakfast that is ready in under 15 minutes.
• Lots of options to customize it and make it a complete meal.
• This breakfast will keep you full for hours.

Ingredients

• Sourdough bread: You can use store-bought but I have a beginner friendly basic sourdough recipe that you can use. I recommend sourdough because it is sturdy and can handle the weight of the toppings, plus it has amazing flavor!
• Ripe avocado: Pick an avocado that is perfectly ripe (not too soft, not too hard). Better yet buy your avocado when is unripe and let it sit on your kitchen counter for 1-2 days until it softens. If your avocado is too soft it will be bruised.
• Everything but the bagel seasoning: This is optional but adds a ton of flavor and a lovely texture.
• Lime/lemon: I like to add a squeeze of lemon to the avocado to amply the flavor.
• Fried egg: highly recommend adding a fried egg (to a soft boiled egg) to pack this avocado toast with protein. Smoked salmon or cottage cheese are also great alternatives.
• Garlic: Finely grated garlic is optional but highly recommended, a small clove goes a long way.

Step by step instructions

Toast the sourdough

I like to lightly toast my sourdough bread with a drizzle of olive oil. I usually toast it in my air fryer at 350F for about 3-4 minutes. You can also use a skillet to lightly brown the sourdough.

Mash the avocado

I like to mash the avocado in a small bowl with a little bit of salt, lemon or lime and a bit of grated garlic.

Cook the egg

I like to cook my egg over medium but you can also make it scrambled, soft boiled or even hard boiled.

Add toppings

I like to add the everything but the bagel seasoning that includes some garlic, sesame seeds and salt. You can keep it simple with some flaky salt and pepper.
