I had forgotten about this combo until Janetha posted a picture on her blog. And then it was all I could think about at the gym. I wanted to get home to lunch.
I can only imagine how it would taste on thick grainy bread with fresh avocados and farm fresh eggs, but I was working with my own fridge and we had bagel thins, Wholly Gaucamole, and organic eggs. Points for being organic, negative on being in the door of the fridge. That’s not where you’re supposed to keep them, supposedly, but that’s where the egg carton section is! Why would they do that?
Toast the bread, smear on the avocado or guac, and top with a little sea salt. Then cook two sunny-side up eggs and slide them right on top.
I served mine with a sliced Honeycrisp apple, but you could add a side salad if you wanted some veggies. I just promised myself I’d get some veggies at dinner.
To those of you that don’t like egg yolks (like my lovely boyfriend, who somehow doesn’t like avocado either?): you are missing out. That first bite cracks the yolk, then you get to soak it all up with the bottom of the bread and it’s pretty much the best thing on earth.
What’s your favorite lunch lately? Any creative combos or yolk-porn dishes I should try?
I KNOW how delicious this is! I do this often and love it! Every time I have it it’s like “why don’t I have this more often!?”
Ahh one of my favorites!! I have this for breakfast a lot, it is just too good. I eat mine on sandwich thins too but only because the eggs fit perfectly on top haha
so true! a little round pan to make the egg and then it fits right on the thin!
I had a sweet potato topped with a mix of sautéed spinach + brussels and a fried egg last night. It was incredible. This version may have to happen tonight!
Hi Clare!
I’m confused by this sentence:
“Points for being organic, negative on being in the door of the fridge. That’s not where you’re supposed to keep them, supposedly, but that’s where the egg carton section is! Why would they do that?”
Are eggs not supposed to be kept in the fridge, or are they not supposed to be in the door of the fridge? Or kept in the carton? I’ve never heard anything specific about egg storage and I’m curious for more info! Thanks in advance
Oh, and eggs and avocado/guacamole is one of my favorite combinations! I like to make a sandwich with toasted wheat bread, avocado, tomato slices, hummus, and an over-easy egg. Yum
My dad likes to add bacon to his too. Can’t wait ’til it’s summer to have homegrown tomatoes back!
now THAT sounds good! Egg + hummus is one of my fav combos!
Hey! I’ve just heard lots of things saying storing them in the door where the temperature changes more often (due to opening the door) isn’t as good for them. I’m not sure how much of a difference it really makes!

How lucky are you to live at home? Seriously, enjoy it! At the end of the day, where the eggs are doesn’t really matter. Does it? I mean, they LOOK delicious, so who cares where they are kept!
SO SO SO lucky right now! Unbelievably! I’m getting so spoiled…gonna be a major shock when I move again in a few months!
This looks yummy!
A boyfriend who doesn’t like avocado? That sounds like a match made in heaven… More avocado for you!
.
I don’t even like eggs and this picture has me craving some. Must be that drippy yolk.
My thoughts exactly
I’m pretty sure this lunch was made for me–glad you shared! Sunny side up is the best way to have an egg because you get the best part, the runny yolk, and I eat just the same way. Can’t wait to have this soon, awesome combo!
hope you like it!!
Okay…I am SO making this for breakfast tomorrow! Thanks for sharing the idea!
Yum!! Favorite lunch lately is turkey sandwich with avocado! pretty boring but I always snack on something fun afterwards
I am having pregnancy cravings for shredded CHICKEN for lunch these days – Oh and I am not pregnant, just to be clear! LOL!!! So weird, but I literally go out of my way to get it! If one store doesn’t have it on their salad bar, I will drive MILES AWAY to get my chicken!! LOL
hahah I’ve had that before. “MUST. HAVE. GRILLED. CHICKEN.” Protein cravings much?
I actually don’t like avacado. I keep trying to like it but I don’t think it’s going to happen. I am definitely craving eggs now though!
Try this with hummus instead! Hummus + eggs = amazing!
Eggs from the grocery store ARE supposed to be kept in the fridge if you’re in the US. The washing and sanitation process strips eggs of some of their natural protection and leaves their shells more porous. Eggs straight from a farmer don’t need to be refrigerated because they haven’t gone through this process. Go figure!
The sandwich sounds delicious! I wish I could have one (though with my eggs over hard instead of sunny side up.) I’ll have to add it to my list of things to eat some day.
Oh, haha, I should have clicked on the link instead of just reading your post! Sorry!
I love a big thick slice of hearty whole grain bread and then smeared with nooch sauce (nutritional yeast + almond milk) and then a drippy egg on top! So good!
I’ve been digging anything with avocado on it lately! Mainly for lunches I’ve been making sandwiches with a fried or hard-boiled egg or some tuna topped with avocado and salsa. Something about this combo has been hitting the spot lately…
As for boys and avocados, I have no idea how they all missed the memo on how AMAZING avocado & all avocado-based foods are! More for us, I guess
oooh i love tuna mixed with avocado…and add some egg and it sounds perfect!
I had that for breakfast recently and it was amazing! P is missing out on not loving avocado AND egg yolks!

I’m a big fan of the egg-avocado combo too. I love serving them atop a batch of savory oats with tomato!
Oooh thanks for reminding me about savory oats! Need to do that again, with egg and avocado for sure!
literally eating a hannah yam with fried eggs right now… SO good. i love the hannah yams… they’re a little bit lighter in color and taste a little different but they are absolutely my favorite type of sweet potato
