Simple Avocado Toast with Egg is an easy breakfast made with creamy avocado, finely grated hard-boiled egg, spicy Kewpie mayo, and a drizzle of sriracha. Grating the egg gives it a light, fluffy texture that makes this toast feel a little more special than your usual avocado toast.
It’s quick, flavorful, and easy to customize for breakfast or brunch. If you love savory avocado toast, try my Bacon Avocado Toast next, topped with crispy bacon, feta, scallions, and balsamic drizzle.
Ingredients
To make the avocado toast, you will need:
- 1 hard boiled egg. I like to bring mine to a simmer, then cook for about 10 minutes. I then transfer them to an ice bath to cool completely before peeling.
- A ripe avocado, thinly sliced.
- Salted butter, softened. You'll need enough to apply a good coating to both sides of your bread of choice.
- 1-2 slices crusty bread, such as sourdough or rustic whole grain. How may slices will depend on the size of your bread. One avocado can cover 1 large slice, or 2 smaller slices.
- Kewpie Mayonaise. You can use any mayo you like, but like the TikTok, I highly recommend Kewpie. Kewpie is a Japanese mayonnaise that is made with no added sugar, and only the egg yolks. It's a tangy, creamy and flavorful mayo, and it's also my favorite mayo of all time. I was not a mayo person before Kewpie. It has changed me.
- Fresh grated lime zest, and some garlic powder. I like to stir in with the Kewpie mayo for a little extra burst of flavor.
- Salt and black pepper to taste, for seasoning the avocado. Avocado is soooo much better with some salt.
- A pinch of black or white sesame seeds (optional). You could also do some red pepper flakes for a bit of extra kick.
- A drizzle of sriracha sauce. prefer to drizzle it on rather than dot it in the center, but do you.
How to make Grated Egg Avocado Toast
- Spread softened butter evenly over bread on both sides,
- Add to a nonstick frying pan or skillet, and heat over medium heat for 3-4 minutes a side, until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime zest, and garlic powder.
- Place toasted bread on a plate, and spread a thin layer of the mayo mixture over each bread slice
- Layer sliced avocado over toast(s), and season with salt and black pepper.
- Using a microplane or handheld or box grater, finely grate egg evenly over toast(s).
- Top with a sprinkle of black or white sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha sauce.
Making the spiced-up mayo
This step is optional, but I love to add a bit of fresh lime zest and garlic powder to the mayonnaise before adding to the toasts. It adds a little extra zing to the overall avocado toast.
How to grate the hard boiled eggs
To grate the egg, you want to use a fine microplane grater, a handheld cheese grater, or the fine area of a box grater. Be gentle when grating to ensure you get light, airy pieces of egg.
