The creamy avocado pairs perfectly with the rich egg, and it’s all piled onto crunchy toast. Whether I’m starting my day or enjoying a light snack, this dish is always a winner in my book.

This avocado toast is perfect for those busy mornings when I need something quick but filling. But honestly, I’ve made this for lunch or dinner too, because it’s just that versatile.

What You Need to Make Avocado Toast with Sunny-Side-Up Egg

1 ripe avocado
2 slices of whole grain bread (or your favorite bread)
1 egg
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil or butter for toasting
A sprinkle of red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

How to Make Avocado Toast with Sunny-Side-Up Egg

Start by toasting your bread slices in a pan or toaster until golden and crispy.
While the bread is toasting, heat a little olive oil or butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, crack the egg into the pan and cook it sunny-side-up for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.
Meanwhile, scoop out the avocado and mash it in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.
Once the toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice.
Place the sunny-side-up egg on top of the avocado toast.
Season with a little more salt and pepper, and garnish with red pepper flakes or fresh herbs if you like.

FAQs for Avocado Toast with Sunny-Side-Up Egg

Can I use a different type of bread for this recipe?

Yes, absolutely! You can use any type of bread you prefer, such as sourdough, rye, gluten-free bread, or even a bagel. The texture and flavor will change a bit, but the recipe will still be delicious.

Can I make this without an egg?

Definitely! If you’re not a fan of eggs or follow a plant-based diet, you can skip the egg entirely. The avocado toast will still be creamy and satisfying. You could also try adding some nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, or sprinkle on some hemp seeds for extra protein.

How do I get the perfect sunny-side-up egg?

To achieve the perfect sunny-side-up egg, cook it gently on medium heat and don’t flip it. Covering the pan for a minute or two helps the whites cook through without overcooking the yolk. You’ll know it’s ready when the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.

Can I add other toppings to this recipe?

Of course! You can get creative with toppings. Try adding sliced tomatoes, arugula, feta cheese, or even a drizzle of hot sauce for a bit of heat. The possibilities are endless!

How do I store leftover avocado toast?

Since avocado can brown quickly, it’s best to make avocado toast fresh. However, if you have leftover mashed avocado, store it in an airtight container with a bit of lemon juice to help prevent browning. The egg and toast are best eaten fresh, but you could try reheating the toast if needed.
