Eggs! The incredible, edible, and endlessly versatile egg. As a child, I wasn’t particularly fond of them, but as an adult, I’ve truly come to appreciate their culinary potential. They’re not just a breakfast food anymore, finding their way into savory dishes, baking, and even sophisticated lunch and dinner creations. However, their role in starting the day right remains paramount. While many enjoy them scrambled and tucked into a cheesy tortilla, I find that a perfectly fried egg, especially one with a runny yolk, adds an unparalleled richness to any savory breakfast dish.
For those of us mindful of our daily sugar intake, a savory breakfast is often the preferred way to kickstart the day. And let’s be honest, a simple avocado toast with a plain fried egg, while good, often leaves something to be desired. Here at Little Spice Jar, we believe in packing every dish with maximum flavor. Why settle for ordinary when you can go extraordinary? Our guacamole-style avocado toast ensures every bite bursts with character, satisfying your cravings for something bold and delicious from the moment you wake up.
Don’t get me wrong, I occasionally enjoy a subtle hint of sweetness, perhaps a drizzle of honey on my homemade, lightly sweetened granola with yogurt. But sometimes, you need a breakfast that truly makes a statement – something vibrant, fresh, and undeniably exciting. That’s precisely where these guacamole-style avocado toasts come in. They are designed for those moments when you crave a breakfast that delivers a powerful punch of flavor, waking up your taste buds with every delightful mouthful.
These toasts are generously loaded with all the incredible flavors you’d expect from a fantastic bowl of guacamole. We’re talking about the warm, earthy notes of cumin, the crisp bite of finely diced red onions, a gentle kick of chili powder, the refreshing aroma of fresh cilantro, and the bright, zesty tang of fresh lime juice. This harmonious blend of ingredients transforms a simple avocado spread into a gourmet experience that is sure to please everyone at your table. I personally adore serving my avocado toasts with fried eggs where the yolk is barely cooked and delightfully runny, creating a rich sauce that blends perfectly with the guacamole, and the whites have those irresistibly crispy edges – truly the best part! However, if a drippy yolk isn’t your preference, a couple of perfectly scrambled eggs would be an equally delicious topping, adding a creamy texture to the vibrant guacamole.
And while we’re on the subject of achieving the perfect fried egg, have you ever wondered how diners manage to consistently serve eggs with those beautifully crispy edges and a perfectly liquid yolk? For the longest time, it was a culinary mystery to me. Well, folks, the secret is surprisingly simple, yet revolutionary: separate the egg whites from the yolks! Yes, it’s a game-changer! Why didn’t I think of this sooner? This technique would have been incredibly helpful during all those times I struggled to achieve that ideal texture, often ending up with an overcooked yolk or soft whites.
Here’s how you do it: simply fry the egg whites until they reach your desired level of crispness and doneness. Once the whites are almost set, carefully slide the yolk into the center of the cooking white. Let it cook for just about 30 seconds to a minute, or until the yolk is warmed through but still gloriously runny. The result? A perfectly cooked egg with firm, crispy whites and a creamy, golden yolk ready to burst. This simple trick elevates your fried egg game significantly, ensuring a delightful texture contrast with every bite of your guacamole toast. It’s truly a moment that makes you exclaim, “Wow!” – my second “Wow!” moment today, clearly I’m channeling my inner culinary enthusiast!
Now that you’re armed with the secrets to perfect guacamole and crispy fried eggs, it’s time to head to the kitchen and whip up this incredible breakfast for yourself. This isn’t just a recipe; it’s an experience that promises to brighten your morning and energize your day. The combination of fresh, vibrant flavors and satisfying textures makes this dish truly unforgettable. Plus, it’s an incredibly versatile meal that works equally well as a speedy breakfast before a busy day or a relaxed brunch on the weekend. The balanced nutrients, including healthy fats from avocado, high-quality protein from eggs, and complex carbohydrates from toast, make it a wholesome choice you can feel great about enjoying. This isn’t just about feeding your body; it’s about delighting your senses and bringing a little extra joy to your plate. So, embrace the deliciousness and make these guacamole avocado toasts a regular part of your culinary repertoire. You won’t regret it!

Ingredients for Guacamole Avocado Toast
For the Guacamole:
- 2 ripe avocados, preferably Hass variety, diced
- 1/2 lime, freshly juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced (fresh is best)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin, for an earthy depth
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (or cayenne pepper for more heat), adjust to preference
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
For the Eggs and Toast:
- 4 large eggs, carefully separated (whites and yolks in separate bowls)
- 1-2 tablespoons oil, for frying (e.g., olive oil, avocado oil, or butter)
- 4 slices of your preferred bread (sourdough, whole grain, French bread, or gluten-free options work wonderfully)
Instructions for Preparing Guacamole Avocado Toasts
Guacamole Preparation:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced ripe avocados and the fresh lime juice. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently smash the avocados. Aim for a texture where some avocado chunks remain, providing a pleasant textural contrast, while others are creamy. This creates a more interesting and satisfying guacamole. Once mashed to your desired consistency, stir in the finely diced red onions, minced garlic, salt, ground cumin, chili powder (or cayenne), and chopped cilantro. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed and the flavors meld together beautifully. Set the guacamole aside while you prepare the eggs and toast, allowing the flavors to deepen slightly.
Eggs and Toast Preparation:
- Begin by toasting your bread slices to your desired level of crispness. A golden-brown and slightly crunchy toast provides the perfect base for the creamy guacamole. While the bread is toasting, warm a non-stick frying pan over medium heat with your desired amount of oil (typically 1-2 tablespoons). Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add two egg whites to the pan. Cook the egg whites until they are fully set and reach your preferred crispness around the edges. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes. Once the whites are cooked, gently slide the two egg yolks into the center of the cooked whites. Continue to cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the yolks are just warmed through and still beautifully runny. Repeat this process for the remaining two eggs.
Assemble and Serve:
- Generously spread the freshly prepared guacamole mixture over your toasted bread slices. The amount is entirely up to your preference, but don’t be shy! Carefully place one perfectly fried egg on top of each guacamole-covered toast. For an extra touch of freshness and flavor, you can sprinkle a little extra cilantro or a pinch of chili flakes on top. Serve your Guacamole-Style Avocado Toasts with Fried Eggs immediately and enjoy this incredibly flavorful, healthy, and satisfying meal. The contrast of creamy guacamole, crispy toast, and a rich, runny yolk is truly unmatched!
