Ingredients You’ll Need
You only need a handful of fresh, quality ingredients to make Grated Egg & Avocado Toast: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe shine. Each item plays a distinct role in making this dish delicious, from the crunchy foundation to those fluffy, savory egg shavings on top.
- Whole grain or sourdough bread (4 slices, toasted): Choose a sturdy loaf with good flavor and plenty of crunch; this is your blank canvas.
- Ripe avocados (2, peeled and pitted): Creamy and rich, avocados are the star – pick them just soft enough to mash but not mushy.
- Fresh lemon juice (1 tablespoon): Adds brightness that balances the avocado’s richness.
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon): Essential for bringing all the flavors together.
- Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon): A little heat for depth and character.
- Hard-boiled eggs (4, peeled): The magic ingredient – grating gives a wonderfully fluffy pile of protein.
- Extra virgin olive oil (2 tablespoons): A drizzle boosts flavor and adds a lovely sheen.
- Red pepper flakes (1/4 teaspoon, optional): For those who love a gentle kick of heat.
- Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley, for garnish): A sprinkle of green for freshness and color.
How to Make Grated Egg & Avocado Toast: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Step 1: Mash the Avocado
Start by scooping your ripe avocados into a bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then use a fork to mash it all together. Aim for a texture that’s mostly smooth with just a little bit of chunkiness – this gives each toast plenty of body without being too dense. Don’t rush; enjoy the bright aroma as the lemon hits the avocado!
Step 2: Toast the Bread
While the avocado mixture sits and flavors meld, toast your slices of whole grain or sourdough bread until they’re golden and crisp. If you love an extra punch of flavor, you can rub a cut garlic clove over the warm toast before topping. The toast should be sturdy enough to hold all that creamy avocado and the fluffy eggs.
Step 3: Spread the Avocado
Using a spoon or spatula, divide the avocado mixture evenly among the four slices of toasted bread. Spread it right to the edges for maximum flavor in every bite. The lemon juice will keep the avocado bright green as you work.
Step 4: Grate the Eggs
Now comes the fun part! Take your peeled hard-boiled eggs and, using a fine grater or microplane, grate them directly over each slice. The egg falls like snow, creating delicate, fluffy shavings that meld perfectly with the avocado below. Each bite will be light, layered, and completely irresistible.
Step 5: Garnish and Finish
Drizzle each toast with a hint of extra virgin olive oil for a silky finish. If you crave a little spice, scatter on a pinch of red pepper flakes. The final touch: a generous sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or parsley, adding color, freshness, and that restaurant-style flair. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
While Grated Egg & Avocado Toast: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe is best enjoyed fresh, you can store components separately: keep extra avocado mash airtight with a squeeze of lemon, and hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for up to 3 days. Don’t assemble until just before serving to prevent soggy toast.
Freezing
Neither mashed avocado nor grated eggs freeze particularly well as their textures change considerably, so freezing is not recommended. For best results, prep just what you need and enjoy every bite fresh!
Reheating
If you’ve already toasted your bread but haven’t topped it yet, pop the toast in the toaster or oven for a minute or two to revive its crunch. Avoid microwaving assembled avocado toast since it makes the bread soggy and the colors dull.
