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

- 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
I have been making this as a quick weeknight dinner. I bought some Wholly Guacamole cups for ease ( I know actual avocados are probably cheaper). After I toast my Dave’s Killer Bread I drizzle it with OBB dipping oils, then avocado, then egg. So tasty!
I posted this same thing a year ago, go me!
My husband has always cooked the eggs in our marriage. I read your tutorial on how to fry an egg and decided to give it a go. Amazing!! I feel so empowered. And I’ve made this toast three times this week. It’s fabulous.
That was delicious! Thank you!
Avocados are one of my most favorite foods. In fact I had it for dinner tonight. Love all your delicious dishes!
