What type of bread is best?

I personally feel strongly that bread you have to slice yourself is the best for avocado toast. Most pre-sliced varieties are not as thick, chewy or hearty and don’t toast up as perfectly as my high-maintenance self prefers. However, ultimately, it’s up to you and you should use your favorite bread!

How do I keep the toast from getting soggy?

The bread will get soggy if you leave the avocado toast for too long, so I definitely recommend eating right away. Unfortunately, this isn’t a great meal prep breakfast.

How did you make the eggs in your pictures?

In my air fryer, did you know you could do that?! Place eggs in the air fryer at 250 degrees for 15-18 minutes. I like mine on the more medium side and I do 15 minutes, but for a more hard-boiled yolk, go for 18 minutes. Then place the eggs in an ice water bath and peel.

Where do you find chili crunch seasoning?

This chili crunch seasoning is from Trader Joe’s, but many regular grocery stores carry seasoning blends that are comparable , if you don’t have access to Trader Joe’s.

What should I do with my other half avocado?

I wrap my leftover avocado tightly in a small piece of plastic wrap and store in the crisper drawer of the fridge. It only has to last one day until I make this again! 😉 Don't worry about any browning; the avocado is still good, even if the surface browns a little bit. If it bothers you, simply scrape the brown layer off with a spoon and use the rest.

Instructions

Heat a stainless steel over medium heat and add a swish of olive oil. Add your slice of bread, tossing it so it’s coated in a bit of olive oil on each side. Alternatively, you can spread mayo on both sides and use nonstick spray instead of oil. Fry bread for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and toasted.
Smash up your avocado with a squeeze of lemon or lime and a big pinch of salt.
Prepare eggs per your preference. I ‘hard-boiled’ the eggs pictured here in my air fryer! If you have an air fryer, simply add eggs to your air fryer basket and air fry at 250 degrees for 15 minutes (medium-boiled) to 18 minutes (hard boiled). Plunge them into a bowl of ice water to shock the egg away from its shell to make it easier to peel. Season eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the avocado mash on your toasted bread, followed by the cottage cheese, then eggs. Garnish with green onions, microgreens, chili crunch seasoning or bagel seasoning and a drizzle of honey. OOMPH. It is just the best.
