Grated Egg Avocado Toast
Just when you thought the avocado toast trend might be old news, TikTok has smashed it (pun totally intended) out of the park again with the latest viral recipe – avocado toast loaded with grated hard-boiled egg. I love a healthy, high protein breakfast idea, and this is my take on the toast that’s been taking the internet by storm!
The original version was the work of Sarah Thomas-Drawbaugh, creator of food blog Healthyish Foods, and she recommended using kewpie mayo and sriracha for the ultimate flavor kick. It tastes amazing, and my adaptation of it was made using super simple ingredients that you’ve very likely already got in your kitchen and pantry. They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and that was definitely the case here.
So is it worth the hype? In short, yes! The grated egg is the real star of the show here, and it’s super light and fluffy, almost like a grated mozzarella. It also looks so impressive served up on a plate, and it’s most definitely very Instagram friendly. It’s a balanced meal that’s packed with protein and can be served as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s a must-try recipe, and I hope you’ll love my version as much as I do!

Step-by-Step Instructions
Please note that I’ve included a printable recipe card for you at the bottom of this post! It’s free and you can print it out at home to put in your kitchen folder so you can refer back to it next time you want to make this grated egg avocado toast recipe! In this section here, I’m going to walk you through the steps and share some snaps as an extra guide…
1. Start by toasting your bread until golden brown or to your liking, then drizzle with olive oil.
2. While the bread is toasting, peel and grate a hard-boiled egg. Make sure the egg is completely cooled, for easy grating – if it’s warm, it’s likely to fall apart!
3. Slice an avocado and arrange on the toasted bread, and add the grated egg on top.
4. Sprinkle chili flakes over the egg and avocado for a spicy kick, and add a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve immediately and enjoy!
