If you're craving a savory breakfast with protein, this café-worthy avocado and egg breakfast should do the trick. (Or, this classic avocado toast is equally awesome if you want to skip the egg.)
This easy recipe is one of my favorite single-serve egg recipes on a busy morning, but it also works beautifully as a simple lunch or light dinner for one. I love it because it's actually super satisfying no matter the time of the day, and it doesn't require any complicated prep or special ingredients…just a ripe avocado!
Plus, it's completely customizable. You can keep things simple with flaky salt and black pepper, or add toppings such as sliced tomato or red onion depending on what you have in the kitchen. I usually make it with fried eggs, but scrambled, poached or soft boiled eggs are all delicious too!
🌿 Ingredients
A hearty bread like whole grain bread or sourdough bread works best for this avocado toast recipe. A medium avocado works well; just make sure that it's fully ripe first (you should be able to easily indent the skin with a little push.)

I make egg on avocado toast frequently for my breakfast. But cook my egg in the microwave. I break an egg into a buttered microwave safe dish; stir with a fork, add salt and pepper put into the microwave with a cover. In my microwave the egg cooks in 45 seconds. I sometimes have it plain but also add cheese, tomato or bacon at other times.
