Grab a ripe avocado, your favorite bread, and a few eggs. This comes together in under 10 minutes and tastes like something you would pay $18 for at brunch. Let’s make it together.

Ingredients

Everything Bagel Avocado Toast

  • 2 slices thick-cut sourdough bread
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How to Make Everything Bagel Avocado Toast

  1. Toast. Toast the sourdough slices until deeply golden and crispy on the outside but still slightly soft inside, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Smash. Scoop the avocado into a bowl. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Mash with a fork until chunky-smooth. (Don’t over-mash, you want some texture.)
  3. Poach. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar. Swirl the water and drop in an egg. Cook for 3 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. Repeat with the second egg.
  4. Build. Spread the smashed avocado generously on each toast. Place a poached egg on top. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning, red pepper flakes, and flaky salt over the top.
  5. Serve. Add microgreens or radish slices if using. Eat immediately while the toast is still warm and crunchy.

Tips for the Best Everything Bagel Avocado Toast

  • Use a ripe but not mushy avocado. It should give slightly when pressed but not feel hollow.
  • Sourdough holds up best because it stays crunchy under the weight of the toppings.
  • The lemon juice prevents browning and adds brightness to the avocado.
  • For poached eggs, keep the water at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. Boiling water shreds the whites.
  • Make your own everything bagel seasoning: equal parts sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and flaky salt.

Fun Variations to Try

  • Fried Egg Version: Skip the poaching and fry the egg in butter with crispy edges instead.
  • Mediterranean: Add crumbled feta, sliced olives, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Spicy: Top with pickled jalapenos and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
  • BLT Style: Add crispy bacon and sliced tomato under the egg.
  • Smoked Salmon: Layer thin slices of lox between the avocado and egg with capers.
