Have you ever taken a bite of avocado toast and thought, “This is good, but it could use a little… drama?” Enter Spicy Avocado Toast with Jammy Eggs and Chili Crunch, the bold, texture-packed breakfast you didn’t know you needed. Creamy avocado meets the luscious, velvety yolks of jammy eggs, all crowned with a punchy spoonful of chili crunch for heat, umami, and satisfying crispiness.

This dish is a modern twist on the brunch classic, adding layers of flavor and texture that make it far more exciting than your average toast. Avocados bring their buttery richness, the jammy eggs offer that perfect in-between of hard- and soft-boiled creaminess, and the chili crunch? That’s your wake-up call in condiment form.

Aside from its irresistible taste, this recipe delivers nutritional perks. Avocados are loaded with heart-healthy fats, eggs are a complete protein powerhouse, and chili crunch brings antioxidants from its mix of chili peppers, garlic, and spices. Plus, it’s versatile enough for breakfast, lunch, or a quick post-workout snack.

The best part? You don’t need a culinary degree or a pantry full of rare ingredients — just a few fresh staples, 15 minutes, and a craving for something next-level. Let’s break down everything you need to make this your new breakfast obsession.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs – room temperature for more even cooking
• 1 ripe avocado – mashed with a fork for a rustic texture
• 2 slices sourdough bread (or whole-grain bread for added fiber)
• 1–2 tbsp chili crunch – store-bought or homemade
• ½ tsp fresh lemon juice – to brighten the avocado flavor
• Pinch of flaky sea salt – for finishing
• Freshly ground black pepper – to taste
• Optional garnishes: microgreens, sesame seeds, fresh herbs

Ingredient Tips:

• For the avocado, choose one that yields slightly when pressed — overripe avocados can taste bitter.
• Use pasture-raised eggs for the best flavor and richer yolks.
• You can find chili crunch in most grocery stores or make your own.
• Sourdough’s tanginess pairs beautifully with the richness of the avocado and eggs.

Preparation Notes:

• Mash avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
• Toast bread until golden but not overly crisp — you want some chew to contrast the toppings.

How to Make

1. Boil the Eggs (Jammy Perfection)
   • Fill a medium pot with enough water to cover the eggs. Bring to a gentle boil.
   • Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower eggs into the water. Cook for exactly 7 minutes for jammy yolks.
   • Transfer immediately to an ice bath to halt cooking. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then peel gently.
2. Toast the Bread
   • While the eggs are cooling, toast your bread slices to your preferred crispness.
   • For an extra indulgent base, brush with a little olive oil before toasting.
3. Prepare the Avocado Spread
   • In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork.
   • Add lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
4. Assemble the Toast
   • Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toast.
   • Slice the jammy eggs in half and place on top of the avocado layer.
5. Add the Heat
   • Spoon ½–1 tbsp of chili crunch over each toast. Let some oil drizzle over the avocado for flavor and shine.
6. Garnish and Serve
   • Sprinkle with flaky salt, extra pepper, and optional garnishes like microgreens or sesame seeds.
   • Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and the chili crunch is aromatic.

Expert Tips for Perfection

• Egg Timing is Everything: A minute too long, and you’ll end up with a hard-boiled center instead of that silky jammy yolk. Use a timer.
• Bread Matters: The flavor and texture of sourdough or artisan bread elevate this dish from snack to restaurant-worthy.
• Homemade Chili Crunch Advantage: Making your own allows you to control the heat level and oil quality. Try neutral oils like grapeseed for a cleaner flavor.
• Storage Tip: Assemble just before eating. Store peeled eggs in the fridge for up to 2 days; mash avocado only when ready to serve.
• Flavor Pairings: A sprinkle of crumbled feta or goat cheese works beautifully with the chili oil’s heat.
