Why This Recipe Works So Well
Egg & Avocado Toast is a simple yet delicious meal that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a quick lunch. It offers a balanced combination of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, making it both satisfying and nutritious.
The creamy avocado pairs beautifully with the richness of the egg, while the crunch of toasted bread adds the perfect contrast in texture. The addition of seasonings like black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Everything Bagel seasoning enhances the flavor, giving each bite a well-rounded taste.
One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. You can customize it by using different types of bread, adjusting the seasoning, or even adding extra toppings like sliced tomatoes, microgreens, or feta cheese.
It also caters to different dietary preferences—swap regular bread for gluten-free, use a poached egg for a more delicate texture, or add smoked salmon for extra protein. In just 10 minutes, you can have a gourmet-style breakfast that feels indulgent yet remains incredibly healthy.
