How to Make Grated Egg & Avocado Toast: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Step 1: Prepare and Mash the Avocado
Scoop your ripe avocado into a small bowl, add the fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and mash everything together until smooth but a little bit chunky. You want it to be rich and creamy, with just enough texture for interest. Taste and adjust the seasoning to make sure it’s zippy and well-balanced before moving on.
Step 2: Toast the Bread
While your avocado is getting cozy, toast your bread slices until they’re golden brown and crisp around the edges. The toast needs to be sturdy enough to support the creamy avocado and fluffy egg. Steaming hot, crunchy bread is half the magic!
Step 3: Assemble the Toast
Generously spread the mashed avocado over each slice of toasted bread. Go all the way to the edges so every bite is loaded with flavor. Be as artistic or rustic as you like—this is your canvas.
Step 4: Grate the Eggs
Hold a cold, hard-boiled egg over the avocado-topped toast and use a fine grater or microplane to create delicate shreds directly onto the toast. The result is a fluffy, almost cloud-like egg topping that melds seamlessly with the avocado below. Divide the grated egg evenly between both slices.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Sprinkle your Grated Egg & Avocado Toast: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe with a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like things spicy, and shower with fresh chives or parsley for brightness. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil for a final flourish, and you’re ready to enjoy!

Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
While it’s best enjoyed fresh, leftover Grated Egg & Avocado Toast: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. If possible, store the components separately to keep the toast from getting soggy.
Freezing
Freezing is not recommended for assembled avocado toast, as avocados tend to discolor and lose their creamy texture, and bread can turn mushy after thawing. The hard-boiled eggs, however, can be prepped and chilled in advance for quick assembly.
Reheating
If your bread has lost its crunch in the fridge, you can briefly toast it again before reassembling. However, avoid heating the avocado and egg together—assemble just before serving for optimal texture and flavor.
