I make this avocado toast with eggs, spinach, and tomatoes almost every single day. It's my go-to when I need something fast, filling, and satisfying. The creamy avocado pairs beautifully with tender wilted spinach and juicy tomatoes, while the soft scrambled eggs add protein that keeps me going. It's one of those simple recipes I never get tired of.

Why You’ll Love This Avocado Toast with Eggs, Spinach, and Tomatoes

  • It takes only 5 minutes to make, perfect for busy mornings.
  • It packs protein, healthy fats, and veggies in one open-faced sandwich.
  • You can easily mix it up with different toppings or seasonings.

Key Ingredients for Your Avocado Toast

  • Avocado: Choose one that yields slightly to gentle pressure for creamy texture. If it's too firm, let it ripen at room temperature.
  • Eggs: Fresh large eggs work best. For a richer flavor, use whole eggs instead of egg whites.
  • Bread: A sturdy multigrain or sourdough slice holds up well. Toast it until crisp to avoid sogginess.

Kitchen Tools for Easy Avocado Toast

  • Small nonstick skillet for cooking spinach and eggs.
  • Fork for mashing the avocado.
  • Toaster or toaster oven to crisp the bread.

Tips for Making the Best Avocado Toast with Eggs, Spinach, and Tomatoes

For the softest scrambled eggs, cook them over medium heat and stir gently until just set, usually about 2 minutes. Be sure to cook the spinach just until it wilts so it stays bright green. If you like a little extra crunch, toast the bread until golden brown before adding the avocado. And don't skip the everything bagel seasoning, it adds a nice pop of flavor.

Pro Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs on Avocado Toast

For the fluffiest scrambled eggs, add a tablespoon of milk or water to the beaten eggs before cooking. Whisk them vigorously to incorporate air. Cook over medium-low heat and stir slowly with a rubber spatula, removing from heat just before they look done, they will continue to cook from residual heat. This prevents dry, rubbery eggs.

How to Pick a Ripe Avocado for Toast

For this recipe, you want an avocado that is ripe but not mushy. Gently squeeze it in the palm of your hand, it should yield slightly. The stem nub should pop off easily revealing green underneath. If it's brown underneath, the avocado is overripe. To speed up ripening, place the avocado in a paper bag with a banana. Once ripe, store in the fridge to use within a day or two.

What Bread Works Best

A sturdy bread is key because the toppings are heavy. Multigrain, sourdough, or whole wheat toast hold up well. I prefer Private Selection Multigrain bread from Kroger, it adds a nice nutty flavor and firm texture. Stay away from soft white bread which can get soggy. Toast the bread until golden and crisp so it stays crunchy under the avocado and eggs.

Avocado Toast Variations to Try

Swap the egg whites for a whole fried egg or poached egg for extra richness. If you want a vegan version, replace the eggs with crumbled tofu seasoned with turmeric and black salt. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha for heat. For a different green, use arugula instead of spinach, its peppery flavor pairs nicely with avocado.

What to Serve with Your Avocado Toast

This toast is a complete meal on its own, but you can round it out with a piece of fruit like orange slices or a handful of berries. For a bigger brunch, serve it alongside a small mixed green salad or a cup of soup. A hot cup of coffee or tea is all you need to make it a satisfying breakfast.

How to Store Leftover Components

Store leftover scrambled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the avocado half with the pit still in it wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to slow browning. Store bread in a sealed bag at room temperature. Reheat the eggs and toast the bread fresh when you're ready to assemble.

Best Ways to Reheat the Scrambled Eggs

To reheat the scrambled eggs, place them in a microwave-safe dish and warm in 15-second bursts, stirring in between, until heated through. Alternatively, reheat in a small nonstick skillet over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid drying them out. The toast and avocado are best fresh, so only reheat the egg component.
