This Avocado Egg Breakfast Sandwich is simple, nourishing and endlessly adaptable. Creamy avocado, comforting eggs and fresh tomatoes come together between toasted bread for a quick, healthy breakfast (or anytime meal) that feels wholesome yet indulgent — depending entirely on how you build it.
Perfect for busy mornings, light lunches, or a protein-rich snack, this easy avocado sandwich delivers flavour, nutrition, and satisfaction in every bite.
Inspiration
Some mornings call for slow breakfasts and thoughtful layering. This sandwich is inspired by the idea that even the simplest ingredients, when assembled with intention, can turn into something deeply satisfying and quietly luxurious.
Add to this the fact that avocados are a true superfood, and you’re in for a guilt-free, nourishing meal that keeps you energized and full for longer.
🥑 Fact
Avocado is rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, which not only makes it creamy and filling but also helps keep you satiated for longer. It also acts as a natural moisture barrier — a small but mighty sandwich hero that prevents soggy bread.
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
(white, brown, multigrain, sourdough or Italian — your choice) - 1 or ½ ripe avocado
(not overripe or blackened) - 1 medium tomato, sliced into rings
- 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced
(or scrambled or poached, if preferred) - Salt, pepper and any seasoning of your choice
Optional Add-Ins
- Salami, pepperoni or prosciutto
- Tahini (for a nutty, creamy finish)
Method
Prep first (important tip!)
Have all your toppings sliced and ready before you toast the bread. This prevents the bread from softening while you assemble.
Toast the bread
Lightly toast the bread and set aside for a healthier version.
Feeling indulgent? Spread a little butter and grill it in a pan, buttered side down, until golden.
Start with avocado

Mash the avocado and spread it directly onto the bread, or layer thin slices evenly.
👉 Tip: Mashed avocado works best — it sticks to the bread and forms a protective layer that prevents sogginess.
Add the protein layer
If using salami or similar meats, lightly grill them for a crisp edge (optional).
Layer them over the avocado for texture and balance.
Layer the egg
Add sliced hard-boiled egg.
👉 Why boiled? It’s neat, stable and less messy than scrambled or poached eggs — perfect for a sandwich.
Finish with tomatoes
Place tomato slices on top.
👉 Smart layering tip: Tomatoes release moisture. Keeping them on top protects the bread and keeps flavours fresh.
Season, close and serve
Sprinkle salt, pepper and your favourite seasoning.
Drizzle with tahini or any sauce if desired.
Top with the second slice of toast, press gently, and serve immediately.
Tips & Tricks
Packing to go:
Use sliced avocado instead of mashed, and pack tomato slices separately. Add tomatoes just before eating to avoid soggy bread.
Make it yours:
Add chilli flakes, cracked pepper, herbs, or a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
Simple, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying — this Avocado Egg Breakfast Sandwich proves that good food doesn’t have to be complicated.
