Loaded Avocado Toast
Some breakfasts just hit every single craving, and this Loaded Avocado Toast is one of them. It combines creamy avocado, crispy bacon, peppery arugula, a perfectly poached egg, and a drizzle of hot honey on thick slices of toasted sourdough for a breakfast that’s fresh, satisfying, and packed with flavour.
The combination of textures is what makes this recipe so good. The crunchy sourdough holds up to the creamy avocado, while the crispy bacon adds a savoury bite and the poached egg creates a rich, silky yolk that ties everything together. A handful of fresh arugula keeps the toast feeling light, while the hot honey adds just the right balance of sweet heat.
If you have cottage cheese on hand, don’t skip it. It melts beautifully into the warm toast and adds extra creaminess along with a boost of protein that helps keep you full throughout the morning. We happened to run out when we filmed this version, but it’s one of our favourite additions whenever we have it in the fridge.
This recipe is perfect for busy weekday mornings, slow weekend brunches, or even a quick lunch when you want something nourishing without spending a lot of time in the kitchen. It’s easy to customize with your favourite toppings, whether that’s sliced tomatoes, microgreens, smoked salmon, or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
When simple, fresh ingredients come together like this, breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated. This Loaded Avocado Toast is proof that a few quality ingredients can create a meal that’s as delicious as it is satisfying, and one you’ll be making again and again.
