What is an avocado toast breakfast plate?

Avocado toast is a familiar modern brunch dish, often paired with eggs or other savoury toppings. This American-style breakfast plate adds smoked salmon, sprouts, fresh fruit and tea for a mix of savoury, creamy and bright flavours.

The combination works because the crisp toast supports the soft avocado and egg, while salmon brings a savoury note and fruit adds freshness.

Nutrition and macros by portion

The nutrition label shows one serving as written: 570 calories, 25g protein, 40g carbs, 35g fat.

The bread and fruit provide much of the carbohydrate, while avocado contributes fat and the eggs and smoked salmon provide protein. The supplied nutrition is 570 kcal, with 25 g protein, 40 g carbohydrate and 35 g fat per serving; add extra fruit or serve with water if you want a little more freshness alongside the plate.

Choose the bread and avocado

Bread: Sourdough or wholegrain both make a sturdy base; toast it until golden so it holds the toppings.

Avocado: Mash a ripe avocado until spreadable, then season it lightly. The recipe gives no quantity, so use enough to cover the two slices to your liking.

Get the eggs right

Doneness: Sunny-side-up eggs give you a soft yolk, while cooking them longer will set it more firmly. Use your preferred doneness as the cue rather than relying on a fixed cooking time.

Layer for a good texture

Base: Spread avocado over the toast first, then add the smoked salmon and sprouts so the toppings sit neatly on the slices.

Finish: Crack black pepper over the assembled toast just before serving. This keeps the seasoning fragrant and the sprouts fresh-looking.

Keep the plate moving

Timing: Toast the bread and fry the eggs while preparing the fruit, then assemble the toast and brew the tea. This helps the eggs and toast reach the table warm and crisp.

Serve it as a complete breakfast

Fruit: Apple, strawberries and blueberries give the plate a fresh, lightly sweet contrast to the savoury toppings. Halve the strawberries as directed so the fruit is easy to eat alongside the toast.

Tea: Black, green or herbal tea all fit the plate; brew your preferred type and serve it hot.

Recipe notes & tips

• Toast the bread until it is golden enough to support the toppings.
• Mash the avocado just before assembling to keep it looking fresh.
• Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness; sunny-side up is the suggested option.
• Add the sprouts and cracked pepper after the salmon.
• Halve the strawberries so they are easy to serve and eat.

Variations

• Use wholegrain bread: Choose it instead of sourdough for a different base.
• Switch the sprouts: Use alfalfa or broccoli sprouts according to what you have.
• Change the tea: Brew black, green or herbal tea to suit your preference.
• Set the yolks: Fry the eggs for longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
• Vary the fruit: Choose apple, strawberries and blueberries in the combination you enjoy.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Under-toasting the bread: Toast until golden so it can support the avocado and toppings.
• Overcooking the eggs: Check the yolk as they cook and stop when they reach your preferred doneness.
• Overloading the toast: Spread the avocado evenly and arrange the salmon and sprouts on top.
• Skipping the seasoning: Add a light pinch of salt to the avocado and cracked pepper to finish.
• Serving the tea later: Brew it as you plate the food so it can be served hot.

How to store

This plate is best eaten as soon as it is assembled, since the toast softens and the avocado can discolour. If needed, refrigerate leftover fruit and cooked eggs separately in covered containers and eat within 1 day; reheat the eggs gently and make fresh toast before serving.
