What you will need
This recipe uses 8 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
- 2 whole large eggs
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons microgreens or arugula
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Soft Boil the Eggs
Bring a small pot of water to a full boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water using a spoon and cook for exactly 7 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath for 2 minutes then peel and slice in half lengthwise.
Step 2: Toast the Bread
Toast the bread slices until they are golden and firm enough to hold the avocado without bending. A sturdy toast base is important so the toppings do not slide off when you pick up the slice.
Step 3: Smash the Avocado
Halve and pit the avocados and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and a generous pinch of salt. Smash with a fork until you reach a chunky creamy texture. Do not over mix into a smooth paste.
Step 4: Build the Toast
Spread the smashed avocado thickly onto each slice of toast. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning evenly over the avocado pressing it in gently so it adheres to the surface.
Step 5: Top and Serve
Place the halved soft boiled eggs on top of the avocado cut side up so the jammy yolk is visible. Add microgreens or arugula around the eggs and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

- everything bagel seasoning → za atar spice blend
- soft boiled egg → fried egg or poached egg
- lemon juice → lime juice or white wine vinegar
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Do not use unripe avocado as it will be bitter and difficult to smash properly
- Do not over cook the eggs past 7 minutes or the yolk will not be jammy
- Do not skip the acid in the avocado mixture as it prevents browning and brightens flavor
