Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Bread (sourdough, whole grain, or rustic bread)
Ripe avocados
Eggs
Olive oil or butter
Chili crunch or chili crisp
Salt
Black pepper
Optional: lemon juice, red pepper flakes, or flaky sea salt

Directions

I start by toasting the bread until golden and crisp.
While the bread toasts, I heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
I crack the eggs into the pan and fry them until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, seasoning with salt and pepper.
I mash the avocado in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice if I’m using it.
I spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread.
I place the fried egg on top of the avocado.
I finish with a spoonful of chili crunch and a sprinkle of flaky salt or pepper before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 servings and takes roughly 10–15 minutes from start to finish. It’s perfect for busy mornings or quick meals when I don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen.

Variations

Sometimes I add sliced tomatoes, radishes, or arugula for freshness. I’ve also topped it with feta or parmesan for extra richness. If I want more protein. For less heat, I use a smaller amount of chili crunch or swap it for chili oil.

Storage/reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. If I prep ahead, I mash the avocado with lemon juice and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. I toast the bread and fry the egg just before serving. I don’t recommend reheating fully assembled avocado toast. Fried Egg Avocado Toast with Chili Crunch

FAQs

Can I use scrambled eggs instead of fried eggs?

Yes, I’ve used soft scrambled eggs and they work really well. The texture is different, but still delicious.

What kind of chili crunch should I use?

I use any chili crunch I like, whether it’s store-bought or homemade. I look for one with good crunch and balanced heat.

How do I keep avocado from browning?

I add lemon juice and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado if I’m storing it briefly.

Is this recipe spicy?

It can be. I control the heat by adjusting how much chili crunch I add.

Can I make this vegan?

Yes, I skip the egg and add roasted chickpeas or tofu, then finish with chili crunch for flavor and crunch.
