Avocado Tartine Recipe
Looking for a deliciously simple, endlessly adaptable meal that can serve as breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even a light dinner? Made with just 5 basic ingredients, then gussied up with whatever your heart desires, this speedy avocado toast recipe is a copycat version of what we used to serve at Marche Artisan Foods in Nashville.
Equipment
- Toaster or Toaster Oven
- Serrated Knife
- Fork
- Dash Egg Cooker optional
Ingredients
- 3 Eggs medium boiled (with bright orangey-yellow jammy inside), or cooked to your preference (e.g. sunnyside, over easy, hard boiled, etc); feel free to use turmeric pickled eggs!
- 2 medium-large Avocados
- 2 teaspoon Garlic minced fine or crushed; I used Dorot cubes. (About 1 large or 2 small cloves)
- 1 Lemon juiced; can swap in ~1 tablespoon rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, or ACV
- scant ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt plus more to taste
- 2-4 thick slices Crusty Bread depending on how wide your loaf is
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Optional Add-Ons
- Fresh Herbs dill, parsley, or cilantro
- Microgreens or Arugula lightly dressed with lemon & oil, or the vinaigrette of your choosing
- Bacon
- Smoked Salmon or Lox
- Prosciutto
- Pickled Red Onions
Instructions
- Prepare eggs to your liking. I like using the Dash Egg Maker with the water about ¼-inch under the "hard" line. If boiling or steaming rather than frying, make sure to submerge them in an ice water bath or place under cool running water to stop cooking.
- Mash avocado, garlic, lemon juice, and salt in a small mixing bowl.
- Lightly toast bread.
- Spread avocado mixture on toast. Halve the eggs, spreading 3 halves across each slice (assuming the pieces are large). Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and a fresh crack of pepper.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
Optional Variations:
- Gluten-Free - Swap in your favorite GF bread. This recipe is a winner.
- Vegan - Omit the egg and stick to plant-based toppings like microgreens, fresh herbs, thinly sliced cucumbers, grated carrot salad, roasted peppers, or caramelized onions. For an added hit of protein, make your avocado mash with an equal amount of lightly steamed green peas. They add a lovely creaminess!
- Tartine Salmone e Avocado - This pescatarian breakfast tartine is one of my favorite iterations. I typically use salty cold smoked salmon topped with lightly dressed arugula, but this is also an excellent place to use up any leftover date night salmon.
- Prosciutto Avocado Toast - Similar to smoked salmon, prosciutto brings a hefty dose of salty richness. Make sure you serve this version with a steak knife — prosciutto can be a little difficult to cut with a regular butter knife.
- Tuna Avocado Toast - Rather than making plain avocado mash, whip up a batch of my spicy avocado tuna salad.
- Extra Rich - Feel free to take a page from my beans and greens recipe and turn your regular toast into a giant format crouton (a.k.a. fried toast). It’s true what they say — butter really does make everything better. 🤷🏼♀️
- Mix & Match Add-Ons - Y’all, there are no rules here. Put whatever the heck you want on your avocado egg tartine. There are no wrong moves!
