How to Make California-Style Fried Egg Avocado Toast

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Spread

Mash the ripe avocado in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Toast the Bread

Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp. Set aside.

Step 3: Fry the Eggs

Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook for about 3 minutes for sunny-side-up, or flip for over-easy. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny.

Step 4: Assemble the Toast

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Top each slice with a fried egg.

Step 5: Add Toppings

Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, and crumbled cheese if using. Add sliced cherry tomatoes for extra freshness.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while the toast is warm and crispy.

Tips for the Best Avocado Toast

• Use high-quality, fresh bread for the best texture and flavor.
• Choose a ripe avocado for a creamy consistency.
• Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness, whether soft and runny or fully set.
• Customize with extra toppings like smoked salmon, microgreens, or everything bagel seasoning.

Storage and Reheating

• Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store the avocado spread separately in an airtight container with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.
• Leftover fried eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one day and reheated on low heat in a skillet.
