Fancy a high protein breakfast that’s loaded with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals? My creamy avocado and crusty bread recipe is a match made in heaven. Top it with a running egg for a delicious, healthy, and satisfying breakfast or brunch. Surprisingly, avocado is high in fiber, which helps you to feel fuller longer.
The lemon is completely optional, but gives the dish a little acidity and helps balance it out. It also prevents the avocado from turning brown once it’s cut. Although, this isn’t an issue if you’re eating it right away. 😉
Some other tasty additions are crumbled bacon, diced red onion, and fresh herbs. Brunch hard!

- 2 1/2" sliced hearty bread (I used sourdough)
- 2 large eggs Natural Grain Fed Brown Eggs Grade A
- 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onion
- 1 squeezed lemon (if desired)
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- Lightly toast the bread and set aside.
- Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and squeeze the lemon juice over the exposed flesh. Use a large spoon to remove each half in one large piece. Cut each half into 5 - 6 thin slices.
- Lay the avocado slices on each piece of bread and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Fry two eggs to your preference. We cooked ours sunny-side up, but you could do over-easy, poached... whatever you like. Carefully place an egg on each piece of bread over the avocado.
- Sprinkle each piece of toast with one tablespoon of tomatoes and one tablespoon of green onion. Serve immediately and enjoy!
