Swap eggs for a healthier and more nutritious alternative that will add a new texture and flavour to your avocado toast.
Avocado toast is a staple for breakfast and lunch, but it doesn’t always require a fried or poached egg to be scrumptious. Eggs do add a savoury touch to the nutty and buttery avocado, but there’s actually a more “delicious,” nutrient-rich alternative that pairs even better with its creamy richness.
This easy swap introduces fresh flavour, a new texture, and a lighter feel to your morning routine. It’s also quicker to prepare, making it perfect for both hectic weekdays and chilled weekend mornings.
If you’re looking to upgrade your toast without compromising on taste, this healthy and protein-packed twist is worth a go.
This recipe, courtesy of Good Food, takes 10 minutes to prepare and five minutes to cook. It’s designed to serve two people.

Ingredients
- One avocado
- ½ lime juiced
- Two to three small slices of ciabatta bread
- 100g turkey slices
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Method
To start, halve the avocado and carefully remove the stone in the middle. Using a spoon, scoop the soft flesh into a medium mixing bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the avocado to add brightness and flavour.
Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, then use a fork to mash the mixture until it reaches a rough, chunky consistency.
While you prepare the avocado, lightly toast the ciabatta slices until they are golden and crisp around the edges.
Spread a hearty layer of mashed avocado over the warm toast, making sure it’s evenly spread. Top it with slices of turkey and finish off with a fresh twist of black pepper before serving.
