Avocado Toast with Egg

This Avocado Toast with Egg combines healthy whole wheat toast, a creamy avocado and cottage cheese spread and a fried egg. Each bite is heavenly! 

I’m never the first to hop on food trends. I’ve been seeing avocado toast with egg on menus here in Kansas City for about a year but have yet to order it. Until this past weekend!

I had brunch with some girlfriends and the restaurant had a breakfast avocado toast with a fried egg on the menu. Well, they called it an “Avocado Plank,” because they’re fancy.

“Holy sh*t! I’ve never had avocado toast before this. Life changed. Also I just used a pack of guac from Aldi since my avocado isn’t ripe and it was great.”- Samantha, Pinterest User

I ordered this so-called avocado plank, or avocado toast if you’re an average human. I was so convinced I wouldn’t like it and would regret my order. Well, I’m here today to admit that I was wrong. It was awesome.

I could have been eating this delicious avocado toast with fried egg the entire last year, and I didn’t. What’s wrong with me? 

The best news about this avocado toast recipe is that it’s pretty dang good for you too. I am always trying to fit more protein in my diet to supplement my weight lighting activities, and a lot of that comes protein comes through dairy.

I’m a greek yogurt fiend and I pretty much eat my weight in cheese! For this avocado toast, I used a trick that a friend taught me when she makes her guacamole; I mixed cottage cheese with the mashed avocado!

(Pssssttt… This recipe is one of the Top 5 on my site! Check out the others in this video.)

It makes the avocado spread so creamy and dreamy, and adds protein and calcium to all of the healthy fats the avocado brings to the table. Top the creamy avocado spread with a fried egg for even more protein. Serve on some wheat or sprouted toast, and you have quite the meal!  

I like to add a little bit of acidity in the form of a spritz of lime or lemon juice. You can also add veggies to this avocado toast recipe! Sliced tomatoes or spinach are fantastic additions.

For serving, I like to pair this avocado toast with a fresh, fruity smoothie like this Cucumber Pineapple Smoothie or my Blackberry Creamsicle Smoothie.

Having high protein dairy like cottage cheese and Greek yogurt in your fridge is a great idea if you’re trying to eat a bit healthier. Adding just one tablespoon of cottage cheese to this toast upped the protein in this recipe by 33%!

Finding creative ways to add high protein dairy into your recipes makes a huge difference in keeping me satiated all day. 

If you love this recipe, I think you will also love these high protein Energy Balls and these easy Hibachi Steak Lettuce Wraps, which are keto friendly!
