Loaded Avocado Toast (Printable)

A vibrant twist on avocado toast with fresh vegetables, feta, and jammy eggs for a hearty start.

# Components:

→ Bread & Base

01 - 2 large slices sourdough or multigrain bread
02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 small lime, juiced
04 - 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
05 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Toppings

06 - 2 large eggs
07 - ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
08 - ¼ cup cucumber, thinly sliced
09 - 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
10 - 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
11 - 2 tablespoons radishes, thinly sliced
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
13 - ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
14 - Microgreens or arugula, for garnish

# Directions:

01 - Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.
02 - Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower in the eggs and boil for 7 minutes for jammy yolks. Transfer eggs to an ice bath, peel, and slice in half.
03 - In a bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until creamy but still chunky.
04 - Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toast.
05 - Layer the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, radishes, and crumbled feta over the avocado spread.
06 - Place one halved egg on each toast. Sprinkle with chili flakes, fresh herbs, and garnish with microgreens or arugula.
07 - Serve immediately, seasoning with extra salt and pepper if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's fast enough for a weekday morning but feels fancy enough for impressing someone you actually like.
  • Every bite delivers a different texture—creamy avocado, crispy toast, that jammy egg moment—without any of the fuss.
  • The flavors balance each other perfectly: the tang of feta and lime cutting through the richness, fresh herbs waking everything up.
02 -
  • The avocado-to-toast ratio is everything; spread it thicker than you think you need to so it acts as a moisture barrier between the bread and wet toppings.
  • Don't cook your eggs ahead of time expecting them to reheat well—the jammy yolk is a texture that only exists in that brief window right after they cool, and it's worth timing everything to land at the same moment.
03 -
  • If you're cooking for two, time it so your bread pops just as your eggs finish their ice bath—that 30-second window when everything is hot and fresh is non-negotiable.
  • Toast your bread in a cast iron skillet or grill pan instead of a toaster if you want more control over the crispness and a golden crust that actually holds moisture at bay.
