🍽 Ingredients (Serves 2)
Base:
- 2 slices sourdough bread, toasted
- 1 ripe avocado
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Toppings:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp milk or cream (optional, for fluffy scramble)
- 1 tsp butter or olive oil (for scrambling)
- ¼ small red onion, finely sliced
- 6–8 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Fresh parsley, chopped (about 1 tbsp)
- Cracked black pepper to taste
- Balsamic glaze or vinegar, for drizzling (about 1 tsp per toast)
🔪 Instructions
1. Toast the Bread:
Toast the sourdough slices to your preferred crispness, using a toaster or skillet. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Avocado Spread:
Mash avocado in a small bowl with lemon juice, salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Keep it chunky or creamy — your choice.
3. Make the Scrambled Eggs:
- Whisk eggs with a splash of milk or cream (optional).
- Heat butter or oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
- Pour in eggs and stir slowly with a spatula until just set and fluffy. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble:
- Spread mashed avocado over toasted sourdough.
- Top with scrambled eggs.
- Add sliced red onions and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Sprinkle parsley and crack fresh black pepper over the top.
- Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze or vinegar.
📝 Notes
- Avocado: Use a ripe avocado — it should yield slightly when gently squeezed.
- Eggs: Stir gently and remove from heat early for creamy scrambled eggs.
- Balsamic glaze: Offers a sweet contrast — or swap with a few drops of aged balsamic vinegar for more tang.
💡 Tips
- Want to level it up? Add crumbled feta, smoked salmon, or sliced radish on top.
- No parsley? Use basil, microgreens, or chives.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle red chili flakes or hot sauce.

❓Q&A
Q: Can I make it vegan?
A: Yes! Skip the eggs and use tofu scramble or chickpea spread instead.
Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: It’s best made fresh. But you can prep the avocado mix ahead (add lemon to prevent browning) and store it in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
Q: Can I add cheese?
A: Absolutely! Crumbled feta, goat cheese, or shredded cheddar works well.
Q: Is it gluten-free?
A: Only if you use gluten-free bread instead of sourdough.
