Ingredients for Jammy Egg Avocado Pesto Toast

To make this recipe, you’ll need just a handful of fresh, flavorful ingredients. Here’s what to gather:

2 large eggs
2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread, toasted
1 ripe avocado, mashed
2 tablespoons of pesto (store-bought or homemade)

That’s it! This recipe also doesn’t require any special tools beyond a pot for boiling your eggs and a toaster or oven for the bread.

How to Make Jammy Egg Avocado Pesto Toast

This recipe is as easy as it is delicious. Let me walk you through each step so you can whip this up with confidence.

Prepare the Jammy Eggs

Start by boiling your eggs. Fill a small pot with water and bring it to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water using a spoon, then set a timer for 6 ½ minutes for that perfect jammy center.

Once the timer goes off, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes before carefully peeling.

Toast the Bread

While your eggs are cooling, toast your bread to your desired level of crispiness. I love using sourdough for its chew and tang, but whole-grain bread is a great option for added fiber.

Mash the Avocado

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until it’s creamy but still has some texture. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.

Assemble the Toast

Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto each slice of toast. Add a generous dollop of pesto on top—don’t skimp here, the pesto is the star! Slice your peeled jammy eggs in half and place them on the toast.

Finish with Toppings

Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the eggs. If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of chili flakes. For extra freshness, garnish with microgreens or a drizzle of olive oil.

How to Serve Your Jammy Egg Avocado Pesto Toast

This toast is perfect as a standalone breakfast or snack, but it also shines as part of a larger brunch spread. Pair it with a simple side salad or a fresh fruit smoothie for a balanced meal. If you’re making this for guests, serve it on a platter with extra pesto on the side—it’s always a hit!

Storing and Enjoying Leftovers

While this toast is best enjoyed fresh, you can prep parts of it ahead of time. Boil the eggs and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days in their shell.

You can also mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice to keep it from browning and store it in an airtight container for a day or two.

Avoid assembling the toast too far in advance, as the bread will lose its crunch and the avocado may oxidize. If you have leftovers, you can re-toast the bread and reassemble everything right before serving.

Top Tips for Customizing Your Jammy Egg, Avocado & Pesto Toast

Try different breads: Multigrain, rye, or even a hearty gluten-free option works beautifully here.
Make it dairy-free: Use a vegan pesto if you’re avoiding dairy.
Add protein: Sprinkle on some hemp seeds or serve with a side of smoked salmon for an extra boost.
Switch up the pesto: While classic basil pesto is a go-to, arugula or sun-dried tomato pesto adds a fun twist.

Your Questions About Jammy Egg Avocado Pesto Toast Answered

What’s the best way to get jammy eggs every time?

Timing is key! Boil the eggs for exactly 6 ½ minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Peeling is easier if the eggs are slightly older (around a week).

Can I use frozen avocado?

Fresh avocado is best for this recipe since it has a creamier texture and fresher flavor. If you only have frozen avocado, let it thaw completely and mash it well.

Is homemade pesto necessary?

Not at all! Store-bought pesto works perfectly and saves time. If you want to go the homemade route, it’s a great way to use up fresh basil and customize the flavor.

Can I meal prep this toast?

While it’s best assembled fresh, you can prep components like boiled eggs and mashed avocado ahead of time. Just store them separately and put everything together right before serving.
