What I love about Classic Avocado Toast for One
This Classic Avocado Toast for One has been a go-to for me lately, especially on the weekends! Another Saturday morning has rolled around, and I’m more than ready for it. Weekends are my time to slow down, recharge, and tackle a few things on my to-do list—starting with breakfast. Unlike the rushed weekday mornings, Saturdays allow me to put a little more effort into the first meal of the day.
On weekends, I like to change things up a bit—especially when it comes to eggs. They’re a great source of protein, but I’ll admit, I can get tired of them quickly if I don’t keep things interesting. Luckily, eggs are incredibly versatile, which makes it easy to mix things up.
One of my all-time favourite weekend breakfast options is this Classic Avocado Toast for One. It’s a simple yet satisfying dish that brings together crispy bread, creamy avocado and a perfectly cooked egg. The runny yolk paired with the smooth avocado creates a delicious contrast in both texture and flavour. Finally, a generous sprinkle of “everything but the bagel” seasoning adds just the right amount of crunch and body.
So if you’re looking for a nutritious and tasty way to start your Saturday, this easy avocado toast might just become your new go-to.
What you will need to make Classic Avocado Toast for One
Here’s a list of ingredients that you will need:
- Avocado – Obviously you will want the perfect, ripe avocado to make the best avocado toast! A good, ripe avocado should be firm but have a little give when squeezed. Not too hard and not too soft.
- Garlic – Fresh garlic packs a punch of flavour and zing which is why I like it, but if you’re sensitive to raw garlic, you can use a sprinkle of garlic powder instead.
- Spices – You will need dried red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper and of course, everything but the bagel seasoning.
- Gf Bread – You can use your favourite gluten-free bread for this or if you’re not gluten-free then I would definitely recommend crispy sourdough bread! Yum.
- Eggs – Organic, free-range/farm-raised eggs are definitely going to have the best flavour and the most nutrients. Not to mention that beautiful orange yolk. If your egg yolk is yellow and not that rich orange colour it is likely that your eggs have been conventionally produced and are absent of many vital nutrients that we want in eggs.
- White vinegar – You will need about 1 tbsp of white vinegar to make the poached eggs. This helps the egg white to wrap around itself when cooking, creating that beautifully round poached egg.

Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1/2 clove garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper chilli flakes
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 slice gluten-free or sourdough bread
- 1 organic free-range egg

Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Spoon out one entire half and slice lengthwise into thin slices. Store the other half in the fridge.
- Toast and butter the bread. Rub the half clove of garlic all over the toast and then top with the sliced avocado, fanning it out as you lay it on the bread.
- Sprinkle chilli flakes, salt and pepper on top of the avocado toast. Set aside.
- Next, poach the egg. Bring a small pot of water (about half full) to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 tbsp white vinegar.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl. Whisk the boiling water in a circular motion and gently drop your egg out of the bowl and into the centre of the swirl. Turn the boil down to a simmer and let cook for 4 minutes or until your desired doneness.
- Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to rest. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the egg on top of the avocado toast and sprinkle all over with Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Break the yolk and enjoy!
