This avocado toast is fresh, vibrant & full of flavour! It’s incredibly easy to prepare and makes a great dish to serve for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

What You’ll Need
- Bread – A good homemade or shop/bakery bought bread is best for avocado toast. This could be sourdough, wholemeal or a white sandwich bread.
- Avocado – Make sure to use a ripe avocado! I like to make smashed avocado for avo toast but you could slice yours if you’d prefer.
- Lime Juice – Adding lime (or lemon) juice to the smashed avocado cuts through the creaminess & also helps prevent it going brown.
- Eggs – We’re topping our avocado toast with a poached egg, so fresh is best!
- Everything Bagel Seasoning – We’re making our own everything bagel seasoning but a ready made one will work as well.
How To Make Everything Bagel Avocado Toast
The full, printable recipe card for this smashed avocado toast can be found at the bottom of this post! Here’s a quick rundown of the recipe…
Everything Bagel Seasoning
We’re making our own everything bagel seasoning by mixing toasted sesame & poppy seeds with garlic granules, onion granules & a good pinch of sea salt. Everything bagel seasoning keeps really when when stored in an airtight container, so you could make a big batch several weeks in advance.
Smashed Avocado
Smashed avocado is exactly what the name suggests! Here, we scoop the flesh out of an avocado, place into a bowl with lime juice, salt & pepper then smash up with a fork. You can make this as smooth or chunky as you like! Smashed avocado is best made just before serving but will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge. If you press a piece of clingfilm onto the avocado’s surface, it won’t go brown!
Poached Eggs – Step By Step
Perfectly cooked poached eggs are surprisingly easy to cook! The key to success here is to use fresh eggs, add a splash of vinegar into the poaching water & to keep the water at a gentle simmer (not boiling!). Here’s how to cook a perfectly poached egg!
- Fill a saucepan up with water, add in a generous splash of white wine vinegar (around a tablespoon for a medium sized pan), then set over a medium heat & bring to a gentle simmer.
- Next, crack a fresh egg into a ramekin then gently tip into the water. Repeat this step with a few more eggs but don’t over crowd your pan.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes for runny yolks or 5-6 minutes for hard set yolks.
- Use a slotted spoon to lift the eggs out of the water, letting them drain briefly over a plate lined with kitchen paper.
- Season the poached eggs with sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper then serve immediately.
Plating Up
Before plating up, you’ll need to toast your bread to your desired doneness. It’s best to do this just before serving, so the toast is still fresh!
To plate up our avocado toast, we place our slices of toast onto plates, spread on the smashed avocado then top with poached eggs & generous sprinkling of the everything bagel seasoning.
Tips & Tricks
- Use a homemade or good quality bakery (or shop bought) bread for the toast. Make sure to slice the bread nice & thick so that it can hold the toppings!
- Use a perfectly ripe avocado for the best flavour & texture. Season the avocado well with salt & pepper before serving.
- Stir some lemon or lime juice into the smashed avocado. The acidity cuts through the creaminess from the avocado, which balances out the flavours.
- Add a splash of vinegar into the poaching water, to help the poached eggs hold their shape.
