High-Protein Avocado Egg Toast (Ready in 10 Minutes)
This high protein avocado egg toast is the kind of recipe that sounds too simple to be worth writing about — until you actually make it and realise it’s become your default breakfast. Good bread, ripe avocado, a perfectly cooked egg. That’s genuinely it.
The secret to making high protein avocado egg toast work is in the details — chunky avocado mash rather than smooth, a proper drizzle of olive oil, and an egg cooked exactly how you like it. Fried gives you crispy edges, poached gives you a silky yolk, soft-boiled keeps things tidy. All three work beautifully. According to Healthline, eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense protein sources you can eat.
