Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices bread (sourdough, whole grain, or seeded)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or dill
  • Juice of 1/2 a small lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a small saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and bring to a rolling boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to ice water to cool completely, then peel.
  2. While eggs cool, toast bread until golden and crisp.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine peeled eggs, pitted avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to smash and stir until combined but still textured.
  4. Gently fold in chopped red onion and fresh herbs. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Pile the avocado-egg mixture onto toasted bread. Finish with a crack of pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately.

Notes

Season the mixture aggressively in the bowl before assembling. For meal prep, boil and peel eggs up to 3 days ahead. Do not assemble toast in advance, as it will become soggy.
