Print Recipe

A quick and satisfying breakfast or brunch recipe featuring toasted everything bagels topped with mashed avocado and a perfectly soft-boiled egg with runny yolk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Everything bagels, sliced in half
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed with some texture
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Everything bagel seasoning (store-bought or homemade with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, onion flakes, and salt)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil, optional drizzle
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Fill a medium saucepan with water to cover eggs by about 1 inch (4-5 cups). Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
  2. Carefully lower eggs into boiling water using a slotted spoon. Set timer for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with set whites and runny yolks.
  3. While eggs cook, cut avocado in half, remove pit, scoop flesh into a small bowl, and mash lightly with a fork leaving some texture.
  4. Stir in fresh lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  5. As eggs near done, slice bagels in half and toast until golden and crisp (2-3 minutes in toaster or 4-5 minutes under broiler).
  6. When timer goes off, transfer eggs immediately to ice water or run under cold water for 2 minutes to stop cooking and ease peeling.
  7. Peel eggs carefully under running water if needed. The whites should be firm but tender, yolks slightly runny.
  8. Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each toasted bagel half.
  9. Slice soft-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and place on top of avocado.
  10. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the egg and avocado.
  11. Add a drizzle of olive oil and extra salt and pepper to taste if desired.
  12. Serve immediately while toast is crisp and egg warm.

Notes

Adjust boiling time by 30-second increments if eggs are too hard or too runny. Always use an ice bath after boiling to stop cooking and ease peeling. Leave some avocado lumps for texture contrast. Toast bagels on a rack for extra crunch. Everything bagel seasoning is key for flavor. Multitask by boiling eggs, prepping avocado, and toasting bagels simultaneously to serve everything fresh and warm.
