METHOD · 5 STEPS

prep · ~1 min
Prep the avocado.
1.Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
2.Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
3.Smash with a fork to a chunky spread — leave some texture.
grill · ~2 min
Toast the sourdough bread.
Toast bread slices in a toaster or on a hot skillet until golden and crisp on both sides.
TIPThick-cut sourdough gives the best crunch-to-softness ratio.
fry · ~3 min
Fry the eggs sunny side up.
1.Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
2.Crack eggs gently into the pan, keeping yolks intact.
3.Cook until whites are fully set but yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
TIPLow heat prevents rubbery whites — patience is key.
assemble · ~1 min
Assemble the avocado toast.
1.Spread the smashed avocado evenly over each warm toast slice.
2.Drizzle with olive oil.
3.Slide a fried egg on top of each toast.
4.Finish with freshly cracked black pepper, a pinch of salt, and chili flakes if using.
TIPGet the egg on while the toast is still warm — the contrast makes the dish.
serve
Serve immediately while the egg yolk is runny.
Serve on warm plates. Cut into the egg and let the yolk run over the avocado.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest spread.
2
Toast the sourdough until deep golden to ensure it stays crunchy under the toppings.
3
Fry eggs over medium-low heat to keep whites tender without overcooking the yolk.
4
Add the fried egg while the toast is still hot to prevent the bread from softening.
5
For extra flavor, rub a cut garlic clove on the toast before spreading avocado.
6
Store leftover smashed avocado in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface.
