The first time I made a jammy egg (aka a soft-boiled egg with a jammy, not runny yolk) on toast, I was instantly hooked—and years later, I’m still obsessed. My go-to way to to make it is on the best piece of sourdough toast I can find, with a little extra magic: mashed avocado, everything but the bagel seasoning, chili crisp, and microgreens. Basically, everything bagel avocado toast as a starting point, then take it up a level.

The combination of creamy avocado, rich jammy egg, crunchy seasoning, and just a little bit of heat is what makes this combo. Plus, this jammy eggs and toast recipe is quick, filling, and so dang tasty, whether you’re making it for breakfast, lunch alongside some fresh cherry tomato soup, or even a snack (sometimes I eat it before bed and call it dessert…). And the best part? If you prep extra eggs, tomorrow’s breakfast is already halfway done!

Key Ingredients & Notes

• Eggs - I'll walk through a fool-proof way to make jammy eggs on the stovetop, but if you already have some made, this recipe will only take you five minutes. If you're making them along with me here, we'll make extras so you have them on hand. If you ever want to switch it up or have even less time, I have some soft scrambled eggs with red chilies that would be perfect here.
• Bread - Go for the highest quality bread you can find! I always buy locally made sourdough, but a seedy or textured store bought bread would work really well.
• Flavor bombs - We'll add everything but the bagel seasoning and chili crisp for a double layer of extra flavor and texture. These ingredients are what level up a basic egg and avocado toast!

Let's Make This Toast

Step 1

Fill a medium pot with enough water to cover eggs by an inch. Bring that water to a rolling boil (those bubbles should be rolling). Gently lower the eggs into the pot and set a timer for 7.5 minutes. Fill a large bowl with ice and water. As soon as the timer goes off, use a slotted spoon to transfer eggs to the bowl of ice water.

Step 2

While eggs are boiling, you can bread your avocado mash. I like to mash it on a separate cutting board or plate instead of directly on the toast.

Step 3

Assemble! Pop your toast in the toaster, and meanwhile peel 1-2 of the jammy boiled eggs and cut into segments or slices. Once toast is done, layer with avocado mash, everything but the bagel seasoning, egg, chili crisp, and microgreens. I like to add freshly cracked black pepper as well. Devour!

Serving Tip: I'm a firm believer that eggs and toast is not just breakfast food! I love eating this toast alongside some tomato peach gazpacho or kale Caesar salad for an easy work-from-home lunch with vegetarian protein.

Sustainability Tips

• Sourdough bread. If can't use up the bread you bought for this recipe, don't let it go to waste! Make homemade sourdough croutons or cut into cubes to bake into a vegetarian breakfast strata. If you don't have time to prep either of these, simply freeze it as is, and thaw it out a later date for French toast, croutons, or strata.
• Avocado. Avocados are at optimal ripeness when they are dark green in color, and give slightly when pressed with your thumb. If they smoosh super easily, they are overripe. To slow down ripening, check your avocados each day. Once they are ripe, transfer them to the fridge to slow the ripening and maintain freshness. Store half-used avocados without plastic using an avocado hugger (affiliate link)!
