Avocado Toast – Classic & Gourmet Style
Avocado toast has become a staple of modern breakfasts — and for good reason. It’s fast, nourishing, flavorful, and stylish enough to grace the tables of cafés from Brooklyn to Bali. Whether you’re rushing through a weekday morning or preparing a relaxing brunch at home, this dish is your go-to ally. What began as a minimalist meal has evolved into a blank canvas for creativity — from poached eggs to microgreens, feta, smoked salmon, and beyond.
On WhipUpRecipes, we believe in celebrating food that’s both practical and elevated. This recipe is a double-edged sword: a classic version for everyday speed, and a gourmet variation to impress your guests (or yourself). You’ll find tips, tweaks, and nutritional insights to fuel your body and awaken your palate.
Why We Love It ?
Avocado toast isn’t just a trend — it’s a lifestyle. This humble dish empowers you to eat intentionally without sacrificing flavor or time. Its beauty lies in the contrast: the crunch of bread against creamy avocado, the richness of egg offset by a spritz of citrus. Every bite feels like a reward.
At WhipUpRecipes, we believe that cooking should be both a ritual and a rebellion — something that grounds you and yet pushes boundaries. Our gourmet avocado toast is exactly that: classic in soul, rebellious in style. Try it once, and you’ll crave it every morning.

Avocado toast
Ingredients
- ripe avocado
-
Juice of ½ lemon or lime
-
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
-
2 slices sourdough, rye, or whole-grain bread
-
2 eggs (poached or soft-boiled)
-
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
-
Chili flakes (to taste)
-
Optional toppings: microgreens, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds
Method
-
Toast the Bread
Start by toasting your bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness. We recommend sourdough for its chewy crust and deep flavor, but multigrain works great for a fiber-rich version. -
Mash the Avocado
Halve your avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon or lime juice — this prevents browning and adds brightness. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper. -
Poach the Eggs (Gourmet Style)
For the perfect poached egg, fill a saucepan with water, add a splash of vinegar, and bring to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a ramekin, create a whirlpool in the water with a spoon, and slide the egg in. Cook for 2.5 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a paper towel to drain. -
Assemble the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado over the warm toast. For the classic version, sprinkle with chili flakes and olive oil. For the gourmet style, add the poached egg, a handful of microgreens, and a few crumbles of feta. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and more cracked pepper.
