Hard Boiled Eggs with Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is the perfect avocado vessel for fanatics like me.

(Psst, for some fun reading, check out How the Internet became ridiculously obsessed with avocado toast and My fruitful search for the origins of avocado toast.)

To pair with avocado toast, I like to add a hard boiled egg. Along with the healthy fats in the avocado, eggs provide tons of protein, vitamin D, B vitamins, and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper.

Which means that Hard Boiled Eggs with Avocado Toast will keep you full, and doubles as a quick lunch.

This recipe isn’t really a recipe per se. It’s just a guideline of some foods that taste GOOOOD together 😉

I’ve included a few favourite variations – like adding a smear of goat cheese or ricotta cheese underneath your smashed avocado, or adding chopped scallions or chives.

Whatever you do, make sure to grind fresh pepper and coarse salt. And if you want a kick of flavour, sprinkle red pepper flakes.

And I leave you with a morning hack – make multiple hard boiled eggs at the beginning of the week and store them in the fridge for quick breakfasts (or lunch salads!) throughout your busy week.

Anything to make mornings easier!
