The ingredients here are pretty ordinary for the most part, but put together in just the right way, the result is anything but ordinary. The avocado’s buttery texture paired with the velvety hummus and the gentle crunch of black salt combine to deliver a dish that’s not only rich in flavor but also in character. A mountain of fluffy grated egg on top makes it a super satisfying breakfast.

Why You’ll Love This Avocado and Shaved Egg Toast

So why should you add this to your morning routine? For starters, the mix of healthy fats from the avocado and protein from the egg creates a meal that’s energizing and satiating without tipping you into a food coma.

The contrasting textures, from the smooth avocado to the fluffy egg, are a treat. And it’s a visual feast too—black salt sprinkled on a base of bright green avocado topped with a mountain of white and gold egg—well, it is nothing short of art on a plate.

Ingredients You Need

You only need a few ingredients to make this dish, which is just one of the reasons we love it so much. Here’s what you need:

• Avocado: Choose an avocado that’s ripe but not mushy to achieve that coveted creamy spread.
• Egg: You could fry or scramble the egg, but what makes this version of avocado so special is that the egg is hard-boiled and then grated over the top, showering the toast with tender egg. Be sure to boil the egg just long enough to cook it through, and then grate it  to achieve a light, airy texture that complements the dense hummus.
• Bread: Opt for a wholesome slice of whole grain bread to add depth with its nutty flavor.
• Salt: Hawaiian black salt—with its smoky flavor and subtle crunch—is the ideal seasoning for this toast, but if you don’t have it, you can use a coarse sea salt like fleur de sel or pink Himalayan salt.

How to Make It

The assembly is blissfully simple. Here’s how to do it:

1. Boil the egg.
2. Toast the bread to a golden crunch. If you’re feeling extra motivated, you can fry the bread in a bit of olive oil or avocado oil in a skillet.
3. Spread on a generous layer of your favorite hummus.
4. Pile on mashed avocado.
5. Shower it with grated egg.
6. Crown it with a pinch of Hawaiian black salt.
7. It’s best enjoyed fresh, the moment all elements come together in perfect harmony.

Tips for Success

This is an easy to make breakfast or brunch. Follow these tips to make it absolutely perfect:

• Start by making sure to boil the egg perfectly. Check out our How to Boil an Egg guide. You want the egg hard-boiled, but be careful not to let it cook too long or you’ll get an insightly greenish-grey tinge around the edge of  the yolk.
• Choose great bread. I love to use a cracked wheat sourdough that has hearty flavor and texture.
• You can toast the bread to keep things simple, but you can make this dish even more special by frying the bread in a skillet with a bit of olive oil, avocado oil, or butter.
• Feel free to add other ingredients to fancy it up even more. I love a drizzle of chili crisp or chili oil, a dollop of harissa, or few shakes of a Mexican-style hot sauce. You could also add fresh herbs like basil, dill, or cilantro. Or top it with a handful of alfalfa sprouts or watercress.

What to Serve It With

For a special brunch, or just a lazy Saturday morning breakfast, pair it with a sweet, creamy cup of Vietnamese Egg Coffee.

Fruit salad or a green salad with a tart lemon vinaigrette dressing are great accompaniments as they cut through the richness of the avocado and egg.

It’s perfect for a filling breakfast or brunch that’s as pleasing to the palate as it is to the eye.
