Grated Avocado Toast is a complete breakfast and oh so good. Hard boiled egg grated over the top of mashed avocado and slices of fresh tomato.
Avocado toast is one of our breakfasts. You can add whatever you want to the top or just keep it simple with a sprinkle of salt. It was about 2016-2017 when avocado toast really became popular.
In 2016 people started making all sorts of avocado toast recipes. It was 2017 when Foodie Crush created the “grated egg avocado toast” and I was obsessed! I sometimes took the lazy way out and made it into avocado egg salad, but grated egg makes it so much more fun and prettier too. Now it has become a viral TikTok recipe! Of course, we have to share our version, we think it’s a must try recipe!

Ingredient notes
- Sourdough bread – Sourdough is our favorite bread when it comes to making avocado toast.
- Avocados – Make sure they’re ripe. Avocados from Mexico are our goto.
- Lime – We add this when we have it on hand, it adds a nice tang.
- Spices – Flavor! We use granulated garlic, granulated onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Hard Boiled Egg – It’s best to use hard boiled egg that is refrigerated for easier grating.
- Tomato – Roma tomatoes are our go-to, but you could also use cherry or grape tomatoes.
