How To Make Egg Avocado Toast

You'll love how simple this avocado toast is to make!

Step One - boil the egg

• Put the egg into a saucepan and fill up with cold water. Put on the hob and bring the water to the boil over a high heat.

• Once the water is boiling, turn down the heat to a rolling simmer and cook for around 6-7 minutes.

• Then lift the egg out of the hot water using a spoon and plunge into cold water for around 5 minutes to cool it down so you can handle it.

Step Two - make the smashed avocado toast

• Toast the bread to your liking.

• Slice the avocado in half, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.

• Mash half an avocado onto each slice of toast. Use the fork to smash it up into the toasted bread.

Step Three - grate the hard boiled egg

• Remove the shell from the hard boiled egg and then grate the egg over the avocado toast.

What To Serve With Egg Avocado Toast

Smashed avocado toast is a little power house of a lunch! One of your five a day, protein from the egg and sourdough is low GI so keeps you full for longer.

When I'm serving up this for lunch I usually add in a side of fruit, maybe yogurt and a handful of nuts.
