Loaded avocado toast with a soft egg, pickled onions, and everything seasoning

Ingredients

  • 4 slices thick sourdough bread, toasted
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 4 eggs (soft-boiled or fried)
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Pickled red onions (optional)
  • Microgreens or arugula (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the eggs: For soft-boiled: lower eggs into boiling water, cook 6½ minutes, then transfer to ice water. For fried: cook in butter over medium heat to your preference.

  2. Smash the avocado: Halve and pit avocados. Scoop into a bowl, add lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Mash with a fork to your preferred texture.

  3. Assemble: Spread avocado thickly onto each toast. Top with an egg. Sprinkle with everything seasoning, red pepper flakes, and flaky salt.

  4. Finish: Add pickled onions and microgreens if using.

Notes

  • Storage: Best made fresh. Avocado oxidizes quickly, so eat right away.
  • Variations: Add smoked salmon, crumbled bacon, or cherry tomatoes. Swap everything seasoning for za’atar.
  • Tips: The lemon juice in the avocado isn’t just for flavor — it keeps it from browning while you prep.
