Medium: 8 minutes
Hard-boiled: 10 minutes
Once done, immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 2–3 minutes.
Peel carefully and slice or halve them.
Prepare the Avocado Spread
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
Mix in lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Optional: Add a drizzle of olive oil for a creamier texture.
Toast the Bread
Toast bread slices in a toaster, pan, or air fryer at 370°F (185°C) for 3–4 minutes, until golden and crisp.
Optionally, brush with butter or olive oil for extra flavor.
Assemble
Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado over each toast.
Arrange sliced boiled eggs on top.
Sprinkle with chopped chives, salt, and pepper.
Add any desired toppings (chili flakes, feta, microgreens, etc.).
Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil or lemon juice for freshness.
Tips for the Best Avocado Toast
Use ripe but firm avocados — they should yield slightly when pressed.
For creamy flavor, mix a little Greek yogurt into the avocado mash.
To keep avocado from browning, add extra lemon juice or cover tightly with plastic wrap if making ahead.
Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or everything bagel seasoning for a flavor boost.
Whole grain or sourdough bread gives the best texture and holds toppings well.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with fresh fruit, smoothies, or herbal tea for a complete breakfast.
Turn it into a power lunch by adding smoked salmon or turkey slices.
Pair with fresh greens salad or tomato slices for a balanced meal.
