I just have to share my newest breakfast obsession with you guys.
It’s not even really a recipe, per say…but it is oh SO good and you definitely need to make it. Simple food really is the best, isn’t it?
The premise is a simple one, lightly toasted bread (or broiled if I’m at home and too lazy to get the toaster out) is topped with avocado slices and thinly sliced cheese (my favorite is pepper jack) and then broiled until the cheese is golden brown. Then top the toast with preferably, a runny egg. De.Vour.
If I’m at work, I’ll bring a fully cooked egg and then put the components together once I’m ready for breakfast. (But there’s no real plate, golden brown cheese, or runny egg.) It’s still good and definitely still satisfying, but not quite the same.
This toast also makes a delicious lunch or simple dinner if you just can’t fathom such a savory meal first thing in the morning. Anytime of the day, just make sure you eat this soon!

sometimes simple food really is the best – this looks delicious – love me some avocado!
Andrea
Love this!! I do something similar with Ezekiel English muffins, avocado, tomato, turkey bacon and egg whites! Yum!
Emily
Yum! I will be trying that. I love those english muffins.

Discovered the creamy, simple perfection of avocado toast 2 months ago. I have eaten each morning for breakfast, and most week nights, for dinner. You don’t feel full and bloated after eating.
The trick to perfection is simple…prep.
1-Mash up that avocado on a paper plate, cutting board, even on the plate you will eat off of.
Mash, leaving chunks. Heavily pepper it, many people enjoy dry pepper flakes or hot sauce at this point. Bit of flaky sea salt if possible.
2- scramble you eggs. Ratio is up to you. I use one whole avocado with 3 large eggs, and 2 sliced pieces
rustic pane bread, equals 2 1/2 regular sandwich bread.
Get out the butter, a spreader, a spatula, u r ready!
Heat the skillet, pop down toast, u need it toasted med-dark, for the crunchy texture. Plop eggs in pan, scramble up those soft plump curds, when almost dry, remove. Toss some shredded cheese on it if you have some, 2-3 T. Makes it even more succulent. Season with salt and pepper, toast comes out, lightly butter, mash avocado onto it, top with egg. More hot sauce as desired, or bacon crumbles, onion, etc…
The decadence is the custard on the avocado stew, laying on crunchy toast. Sea salt flakes make it outrageous. Cut in slices, and enjoy.

That looks incredible! I often scramble my avocado into my egg but I love this idea!

Simple is always best, and this toast looks like a perfect example of that!
Chelsea @ Designs on Dinner
I am starting a new job next week where I get to eat breakfast again! (Ie, not waking up at 3:30am for work anymore). I’m already dreaming about this combo.
theresa @ aspoonfulofsunshine
I know you said it, but I really get over how delicious this simple meal is! I love that it can be eaten for any meal of the day.
Danica @ It's Progression
This is one of my absolute favorite things to eat, and it’s just so simple! I don’t typically add cheese to mine, but I do add hummus and tomato. Yum!
Christy
I do this exact combination as well (sometimes add tomato) and love it!
Emily
I think I need to try tomato next time! Good idea!
Karla @ Foodologie
If I had seen this earlier (I’m seriously falling behind on the internet the past two weeks), I would have had this for dinner.
I’m a fan just from the look of it!

One of my favorite meals ever! Eggs are my go-to for lunch… I bring a couple to work, crack ’em, pop ’em in the micro and then sandwich ’em up 🙂
Emily
I’m curious, how do you cook them in the microwave? In a mug? I need details. 🙂
erin
I scramble them and micro in a small glass pyrex for about 1:45 🙂
Emily
No spray or anything? I’m totally trying this next week.
erin
Spray helps and makes it easier to clean the pyrex! Let me know how you like it!

Simple, quick, and healthy. I’m always looking for something I can create quickly. Definitely beats grabbing something unhealthy while you’re on the go.

I eat mashed up avocado on Ezekial 4:9 toast at least once a week. It always hits the spot. I love it with eggs, but sometimes making an egg is too ambitious. 🙂

That looks mouth watering and delicious! Fits my more less vegetarian lifestyle. Im with Michelle Ezekial bread sounds like a good bread to go with that…
