Shaved Egg Avocado Toast
Description
In this Shaved Egg Avocado Toast, hard-boiled eggs are cooled thoroughly and then grated to produce fine shavings, providing a light and fluffy egg topping rather than typical slices or chunks. The avocado is mashed to preferred consistency with seasonings including red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, delivering a creamy base on toasted bread slices. Thinly sliced radishes add a crisp, peppery bite, while chopped chives contribute mild onion notes.
The combination of textures—from the crunchy toast to the smooth avocado and tender egg shavings—creates an engaging mouthfeel. A spritz of lemon juice at the end enhances brightness and balances the richness of avocado and egg. The preparation includes carefully timing the boiling and chilling of eggs to achieve a hard but moist interior for optimal grating.
This dish functions well as a light breakfast or snack, offering protein and healthy fats. It can be served immediately after assembly for best texture.
Ingredients
- 2 egg preferably cold - they will be easier to grate!, hard boiled
- 2 lices bread toasted
- 1 avocado
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt to taste!
- black pepper to taste!
- 1 radish thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chives chopped
- lemon for serving, wedges
Instructions
- As a note, here's how I made my favorite boiled eggs! Place the eggs in a saucepan and fill it with cold water. Heat the saucepan over medium heat (this is important!) and once it starts to simmer, let it simmer for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and cover it for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath. Let them chill for at least 30 minutes, then either use them or store in the fridge!
- Take the hard boiled eggs for the toast and use a cheese grater on them to get the egg shavings. Toast your bread!
- In a bowl, mash the avocado (to the consistency you prefer) with the red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the avocado on the toast. Top each slice with the egg shavings - pile it on high!
- Add the radish slices, and the chives. Sprinkle on an additional pinch of salt and pepper. Spritz with lemon and serve!
