Ingredients for Grated Egg Avocado Toast

Choosing the Perfect Bread
For grated egg avocado toast, opt for a quality whole-grain or sourdough bread.
Whole grain bread offers additional fiber and nutrients, while sourdough has a unique tangy flavor and a chewy texture. Whatever you choose, make sure it's sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
How to Make Grated Egg Avocado Toast
- Toast the slice of bread until golden brown.
- Spread the hummus evenly on the toast.
- Place the mashed avocado on top of the hummus.
- Sprinkle one grated hard-boiled egg over the avocado.
- Finish by sprinkling black salt over the toast.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Avocado Egg Toast with Black Salt!
We love serving avocado toast with eggs, making it a complete breakfast. My son will often have it for breakfast with fresh fruit or a smoothie.
Preparing Eggs for Grating
To grate eggs, start by hard-boiling them. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 11 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. This makes peeling easier.
🤔 How did you grate the hard-boiled egg? I used a simple handheld grater (microplane), but you can also use a citrus grater. I haven't tried a box grater for this, as I think it might be more challenging.
How to Pick the Best Avocados
Selecting the right avocado is crucial for the perfect toast. Look for avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. The skin should be dark green to black, indicating ripeness.
Freezing and Storing your Leftover Grated Egg Avocado Toast
- To Store. If you have leftover ingredients, store them separately to maintain freshness. Avocado mash can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Make Ahead. You can prepare the ingredients ahead of time for meal prep purposes. Simply grate the eggs and mash the avocado, then store them separately in airtight containers until ready to use.
Tips for Serving Avocado Toast with Grated Egg
- Arrange the toasts on a platter with a garnish of fresh herbs or edible flowers for a pop of color.
- Add garlic: For an extra layer of flavor, add some roasted garlic over the top of your toasted bread before spreading the hummus, or sprinkle a little garlic powder on the toast.
- Use ripe avocados: This might seem obvious, but it's crucial to use perfectly ripe avocados. I prefer ripe (but not overly-ripe) Hass avocados. When choosing them, make sure they're soft enough to gently squeeze but not too mushy - there's a fine line between ripe and overripe.
- Don't forget salt and pepper: Even though this dish is already packed with flavor, a pinch of salt and pepper really elevates it to the next level.
- Serve this for breakfast alongside bacon, turkey bacon, or sausages. For lunch or a light dinner, these Grated Egg Avocado Toasts pair perfectly with a fresh side salad, such as my Cabbage Cucumber Salad or Mediterranean Cucumber Salad.
Variations and Substitutions for Grated Egg Avocado Toast
While grated egg avocado toast is a delicious and nutritious meal that can be enjoyed any time of the day, there are also many variations and substitutions to consider.
- Use different types of bread: sourdough, multigrain, rye, or gluten-free bread.
- Substitute avocado with other spreads: consider using more hummus, pesto, mashed peas edamame, or even guacamole as a substitute for avocado.
- Make it vegan-friendly: for those following a vegan diet, grated egg avocado toast can easily be made by using tofu as a substitute for the grated egg. Simply crumble tofu and cook it in a pan with some seasoning before adding it on top of your avocado toast.
- Incorporate different seasonings: Try sprinkling some chili flakes, garlic powder, or everything bagel seasoning for an extra kick of flavor.

Grated Egg Avocado Toast: FAQs
Absolutely! Avocado toast with egg is a healthy and nutritious meal option. Avocados are packed with healthy fats, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. Eggs are also a great source of protein and essential nutrients. Just make sure you use whole grain bread.
Avocado toast typically consists of mashed or sliced avocado on top of bread, while guacamole toast is made by mashing avocados with other ingredients such as onions, tomatoes, and spices to create a spread. There are so many avocado toast ideas to pick from.
Make sure to lightly press the grated egg onto the mashed avocado. This will help it stick and prevent it from falling off.
Absolutely! You can get creative and add your favorite toppings such as diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, or a sprinkle of cheese. You can also experiment with different seasonings and herbs in the mashed avocado mixture.
Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of a slice of bread. Place the bread on a flat frying pan or griddle and toast until it's golden brown.
Flip it over and do the same on the other side so both sides are crispy. I actually use my crepe pan for this because it heats evenly and works great for toasting!
Place eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Let the eggs cook for 11-12 minutes. After they're done, transfer the eggs to cold water to cool them down. Once cooled, carefully peel and grate.
