Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Whole Grain or Multigrain Bread: Choose hearty bread for great flavor and texture. If you need gluten-free, look for gluten-free bread. Personally, I love using a seeded bread for added crunch!
Avocado: Use ripe avocados for that creamy texture. If you can’t find ripe ones, you can substitute with smashed chickpeas or a store-bought guacamole for a different twist.
Eggs: I recommend eggs cooked sunny side up for that rich yolk to complement the avocado. If you prefer, scrambled or poached eggs also work well, or replace with tofu for a vegan option.
Everything Bagel Seasoning: This seasoning is the star! If you can’t find it, mix your own using equal parts of sesame seeds, garlic powder, onion flakes, and poppy seeds. It adds a unique crunch and flavor!
How Do I Get the Perfectly Cooked Egg?
Cooking the egg just right can take a bit of practice. Here’s how to achieve a perfect sunny side up egg:
- Preheat the skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter, letting it melt completely.
- Crack the egg gently into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolk.
- Cook it for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolk remains liquid. If you like your yolks less runny, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute.
Keep the heat moderate to avoid burning the edges. A little patience definitely pays off for that perfect creamy yolk on your toast!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare. It includes toasting the bread, preparing the avocado, cooking the eggs, and assembling everything together. A quick, easy, and delicious meal is just a few minutes away!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Toast the Bread:
Start by toasting your slices of whole grain or multigrain bread until they’re golden and crispy. You can use a toaster or toast them in a skillet—just make sure they get nice and crunchy!
2. Prepare the Avocado:
While your bread is toasting, grab a ripe avocado. Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out into a bowl. You can either slice it for a pretty presentation or mash it with a fork for a creamy spread, depending on your preference. Season it lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Eggs:
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet gently. Cook them sunny side up for those deliciously runny yolks—or you can cook them to your liking, whether that’s over-easy or scrambled!
4. Assemble Your Toast:
Once the bread is toasted and the eggs are cooked, it’s time to put it all together! Spread the mashed or sliced avocado evenly over each piece of toasted bread. Carefully place an egg on top of each avocado toast.
5. Add the Everything Bagel Seasoning:
Sprinkle a generous amount of everything bagel seasoning on top of each toast. This is where the magic happens! If you like a little extra kick, give it a light dusting of smoked paprika or chili powder for flavor and a pop of color.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Your Everything Bagel Avocado Toast is now ready to enjoy! Serve immediately while everything is fresh and warm. Take a moment to appreciate the beautiful colors and aromas before digging in!
This dish isn’t just a delight to the palate, but it’s also packed with nutrients, making it a fantastic choice for breakfast or anytime you need a quick bite!
Can I Use Whole Wheat Bread Instead?
Absolutely! Whole wheat bread is a great choice for added fiber and nutrition. You can use any type of bread you prefer, including gluten-free options!
How Can I Store Leftover Avocado Toast?
Avocado toast is best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers. Keep the avocado in the fridge with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Toast fresh when you’re ready to eat!
Can I Make This Dish Vegan?
Yes! Simply omit the eggs and consider adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, or include extra toppings like sliced radishes, cucumbers, or cherry tomatoes for more variety!
What Else Can I Add to My Avocado Toast?
The possibilities are endless! You can add sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, bacon, or even hot sauce for some kick. Get creative with toppings that you love!
