In case you’ve been living under a rock, avocado toast is precisely that: mashed avocado on toast. I sometimes eat avocado toast, with a little green Tabasco, lime juice, and salt. It’s tasty. It’s more filling than just a piece of toast with butter on it. But, at least for me, it has too many calories for a snack but not enough staying power for a meal. Enter Fried Egg Avocado Toast. It’s filling but not heavy, satisfying, full of flavor, quick and easy, and loaded up with things that are good for you.
Ingredients Needed
This is just a preview of ingredients and method, keep scrolling for full printable recipe.
- Whole wheat bread – Sourdough is also extra delicious!
- Ripe avocado – You want the skin to be dark and for there to be a little give when you squeeze gently. If it’s super hard, super soft, bright green, or dark green/brown or splotchy, do not proceed!
- Fresh lime – Out of lime? True Lime crystalized lime juice is something I always keep in my pantry and works great here.
- Green Tabasco sauce – Optional, but so, so good.
- Onion – Red onions are best here.
- Cherry or grape tomatoes – Tomato slices will work, too, especially if they’re homegrown. Delicious!
- Alfalfa sprouts – I love these, but they are optional if you can’t find them or don’t like them.
- Egg
- Butter – Or oil, or non-stick spray.
How to Make Fried Egg Avocado Toast
- Have all of your ingredients ready because this goes fast! Begin by frying an egg.
- While that’s cooking, get your slice of bread toasting. When the toast is done, place the avocado on the toast and gently mash and spread it.
- Squeeze the lime juice on the avocado and season with salt and green Tabasco sauce.
- Add onions, sprouts, and tomatoes.
- Top with your finished fried egg, a sprinkle of salt, and another dash of green Tabasco sauce. Enjoy!
Storing and Other Tips
- Store this one in your stomach. It’s definitely something you eat fresh!
- If you have individual leftover components, store them in separate airtight containers in the fridge so you can just toast your bread and fry your egg when you’re ready for another slice!
Frequently Asked Questions
Nope! A poached egg, soft or hard boiled egg, or even scrambled egg are all great!
A couple of strips of bacon would be delicious. You do you!
Definitely! You can even buy the little individual smashed avocado or guacamole cups at the grocery store if you like, although I prefer using fresh avocado for best flavor, personally.

Questions & Reviews
Thank you so much for including nutritional information, including the sat fat! I wish skill of your records had them listed, but it looks like you have started doing that and in live it!!! Thank you!
This looks fab – great way to turn avocado toast into a full lunch. Everything’s better topped with a fried egg! 😉
Where did you get that Cast Iron pan and the pretty white plate? This combo of avocado toast sounds delicious.
That one is actually a small non-stick pan, but aside from eggs and crepes, I basically swear by my cast iron pans! You can find them in all sizes on Amazon (I bought 4 tiny ones awhile back for pizzookies and deep dish pizzas). And that plate is from Pier 1! 🙂
Okay, I’m freaking out a little.
One of my resolutions this year is to learn hand-lettering. Then an email from your blog arrived yesterday, pretty much stating the same thing.
Today, my hubs wanted leftover lasagna (I didn’t want pasta and cheese again). So I decided to have avocado toast with a fried egg for dinner! Very weird!!
Whoa. We’re basically reading your mind.
Reporting back. Haha! Legitimately one of the yummiest lunches. Loved it!
Yes!!! I’m so glad!!
looks delicious!
This looks incredibly tasty! I need this in my life asap.
Looks delicious and easy! I love love green Tabasco sauce.
How do you store the left over avocado for making this again the next day? 🙂
I keep as much of the avocado together as I can and then I keep the remaining pieces around the pit. If you want, you can sprinkle a little lime or lemon juice on them and then use them quickly. If they start to get brown and you’re not crazy about it, you can just shave off the outermost layer and the inside will be perfect! 🙂
Since you are using onions anyway if you store the leftover avocado with the onion it won’t go brown
It’s so funny that you posted this today because this is what I ate for dinner last night! 🙂 I jazzed up my version with some OBB dipping oil on the bread, then used Wholly Guacamole (because my grocery store’s avocado selection was dismal), and topped with an egg fried in OBB garlic oil. Topped with a little salt and pepper and I was completely satisfied.
How funny!!! I’m going to try using the oils next time–that sounds fab!
I also like to boil an egg, mash it with a little light mayo and top with OBB dipping oil served on wheat toast. A great easy breakfast or snack!
I’m in full calorie counting mode and often found thinking, “what the freak am I gonna eat!?” Everything seems to take so much more planning. So, thank you for this. Making today!
