Smashed Avocado Egg Cottage Cheese Toast Instructions
Boil water in a pot. Add the eggs. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes. Then transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool.
Peel and chop the eggs into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggs, avocado, cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt.
Mash and mix everything together until the avocado is smooth and well incorporated, leaving the eggs slightly chunky for texture.
Toast your bread to your preferred crispness.
Spoon the egg-avocado mixture generously over the toast.
Top with everything bagel seasoning and chili flakes, to taste.
Finish with a light drizzle of honey for a sweet contrast.
Cooking Tips
- Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture. If they’re too firm, they won’t mash well with the eggs and cottage cheese.
- Cool the eggs in an ice bath after boiling to prevent overcooking.
- Don’t over-mash—the egg chunks add a nice texture.
- You can customize the toppings by adding lemon juice, chives, or fresh herbs.
Smashed Avocado Egg Cottage Cheese Toast Storage Tips
Store the avocado, egg, and cottage cheese filling in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best to consume it within 1–2 days, as the avocado may begin to brown.
Add a little lemon juice on top to help prevent oxidation. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mixture, then seal the container with its lid.
Toast the bread just before serving. Storing it with the filling will make the toast soggy.
