Egg-In-A-Hole Avocado Toast

Kids enjoy the surprise of an egg cooked right in the toast, while adults love how filling and nourishing the avocado makes it.

Ingredients for Egg-In-A-Hole Avocado Toast

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Egg-In-A-Hole Avocado Toast

• 1 slice of bread white, whole wheat, sourdough, or multigrain
• 1 large egg
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
• A pinch of salt
• A pinch of black pepper
• Optional toppings: cheese, chili flakes, tomato slices, or herbs

How to Make Egg-In-A-Hole Avocado Toast

Step One

Start by placing your slice of bread on a flat surface. Use a small glass or cookie cutter to press a hole in the center of the bread. Push gently and remove the circle of bread you can save it to toast later if you like. This hole is where the egg will cook.

Step Two

Next, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the butter or olive oil. When it melts and spreads across the pan, place the bread slice in the pan. Let it toast for about 30 seconds, then crack the egg carefully into the hole in the bread. Try to keep the yolk centered so it cooks evenly.

Step Three

Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top. Let the bread and egg cook for about 2–3 minutes, until the bottom of the bread is golden and the egg white starts to set. Then, carefully flip the bread using a spatula. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like your egg.

Step Three

While the egg finishes cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the green flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on what you like. Add a tiny pinch of salt for flavor.

Step Four

Once the toast is done, remove it from the pan. Spread the mashed avocado on top of the toast or underneath the egg-in-a-hole. Add any extra toppings you like, and enjoy right away while it’s warm.

Tips for the Best Egg-In-A-Hole Avocado Toast

One helpful tip is to use thicker bread. Thick slices hold the egg better and are less likely to tear when you flip them. Sourdough or Texas toast works especially well. If your bread is thin, be extra gentle when flipping.

Another tip is to cook on medium heat, not high. High heat can burn the bread before the egg is cooked. Medium heat gives you golden toast and a perfectly cooked egg. If the egg white cooks faster than the yolk, you can cover the pan with a lid for a few seconds to help it cook evenly.

For kids who don’t like runny eggs, cook the egg a little longer or break the yolk gently with the spatula. For kids who love runny yolks, cook it for less time. This recipe is easy to adjust for everyone.
