Toasted wholegrain bread topped with mashed avocado, egg, and cherry tomatoes — a quick, healthy, satisfying breakfast rich in healthy fats, fibre, and protein.
Avocado toast is a modern healthy breakfast: wholegrain bread with the healthy fats of avocado and the protein of egg.
Satisfying, balanced, and ready in minutes — a better alternative to sugary processed breakfast foods.
Toast the two wholegrain bread slices until crisp. Crisp bread holds the toppings without going soft quickly.
Mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice, then spread it over the toasted bread. The lemon prevents the avocado from browning and brightens the flavour.
Cook the egg — boiled or fried in minimal oil — then place it on top of the avocado. The egg adds protein and makes the breakfast properly satisfying.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes over the egg, then season with salt, pepper, and chilli flakes. The tomatoes add freshness and colour.
Sprinkle chia seeds or sesame seeds if you like, and serve immediately. A quick, healthy, balanced breakfast.
The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises blood sugar, while the glycemic load (GL) measures how much a full serving raises it. Together they give the complete picture.
A low value (≤55) means a gradual rise in blood sugar — the most suitable range for diabetes and insulin resistance.
Glycemic load reflects the impact of the full serving. To lower it: take half a serving, or pair the recipe with a source of protein and fiber.
* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet per FDA food-label reference values — your daily needs may be higher or lower. Values are derived from the recipe's ingredients via the USDA database.
The most common problems when preparing Avocado Toast with Egg, and how to fix them:
Too little oil or a cold pan. Heat the pan and add enough oil before the ingredients, and avoid crowding the pan.
Heat too low or cooked too long. Cook on high heat for a short time to keep the vegetables crisp and vibrantly coloured.
Not enough salt or seasoning. Season well and taste. Add fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon to lift all the flavours.
Two days in an airtight container after cooling. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
One to two months in individual portions. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Prepare and chop the ingredients in advance and keep in the fridge — assembly takes only minutes at serving time.
On low heat with a splash of water, or in a moderate oven until hot. Do not leave out of the refrigerator for more than two hours [2].

Avocado is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and fibre, and the egg adds protein that extends fullness. Choose wholegrain bread to boost fibre further — this is a balanced breakfast that keeps you satisfied until lunch.
