A quick, no-fuss breakfast combining creamy mashed avocado with chopped hard-boiled eggs on toasted bread, perfect for a healthy and satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 3 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • A pinch of smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread, toasted
  • Chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 3 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (approx. 240 ml). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel and chop eggs into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
  3. Scoop out the ripe avocado flesh into a separate bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth but slightly chunky. Add 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and mix.
  4. Add the chopped eggs to the mashed avocado. Stir in 2 tablespoons mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix gently to combine without overmixing.
  5. Toast 2 slices of your favorite bread until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Spread a generous amount of the avocado egg salad evenly over each toast slice. Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika and fresh chopped herbs on top for extra flavor and color.

Notes

If avocado isn’t ripe, microwave for 15 seconds after poking holes to soften. Use lemon juice to prevent browning. Toast bread well to avoid sogginess. Salad can be prepared a day ahead and bread toasted fresh. For gluten-free, use gluten-free bread or serve salad on cucumber slices or lettuce wraps.
