Why You’ll Love This Recipe

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• ripe avocado

• eggs

• bread (such as sourdough, multigrain, or whole wheat)

• unsalted butter or olive oil

• fresh fruit (berries, melon, citrus, or seasonal selection)

• salt

• black pepper

• optional: lemon juice, red pepper flakes, fresh herbs (like chives or parsley)

directions

1. I toast the bread slices until golden and crisp. If I’m using olive oil, I brush it on the bread before toasting for extra flavor.

2. While the toast is toasting, I mash the avocado in a bowl, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if I want brightness.

3. I spread the mashed avocado evenly onto each piece of toast.

4. Next, I melt butter (or heat a little oil) in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. I whisk the eggs lightly with salt and pepper, then pour them into the skillet.

5. I gently stir and fold the eggs as they cook, removing them from heat just before they’re fully set so they stay creamy.

6. I spoon the scrambled eggs over the avocado toast, spreading them evenly.

7. I arrange fresh fruit on the side—or serve it in a separate bowl—to complement the savory toast.

8. I finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or chopped fresh herbs on the eggs, if I’m using them. Then I serve everything immediately.

Variations

• I top the avocado with radish slices or cherry tomatoes for crunch and extra flavor.

• I add smoked salmon, crispy bacon, or turkey slices for more protein.

• I dip the fruit in yogurt or honey for an added sweet note.

storage/reheating

I always enjoy this breakfast fresh, but I sometimes prepare components ahead. I store leftover mashed avocado (with tight plastic wrap to prevent browning) and gently reheat with a warm toast. Scrambled eggs are best fresh too, but if needed, I reheat them slowly over low heat or in a microwave for short bursts.

FAQs

1. How can I prevent the avocado from browning?

I add a squeeze of lemon juice and cover the surface directly with plastic wrap. Storing it in a sealed container in the fridge helps too.

2. Can I use vegan eggs or substitute?

Absolutely—I substitute scrambled tofu or chickpea “eggs” seasoned with turmeric for color and nutritional yeast for savory flavor.

3. What type of bread works best?

I prefer sturdy bread like sourdough or multigrain that holds up under toppings. But lighter breads like whole wheat work beautifully too.

4. Can I prep this for meal prep?

I prep the fruit and mash the avocado ahead, storing separately. I quickly toast and assemble in the morning for freshness.

5. Is this balanced enough to replace lunch?

Yes—I often enjoy it for lunch with extra protein or colorful veggies on the side for a satisfying, well-rounded meal.

Conclusion

I find Avocado Toast with Scrambled Eggs & Fresh Fruit to be a delicious, nourishing, and quick meal. It’s the perfect blend of creamy, savory, and refreshing elements in one bowl, and it consistently starts my day on a high note.
