Shaved Egg Avocado Toast.
I know that this is just what you need.
Another avocado toast RECIPE. Another egg avocado toast recipe, to be exact.
I mean, who doesn’t need another recipe for avocado toast, which doesn’t even require a recipe in the first place?
We do!
This avocado toast has been on my mind ever since having a version of it at The Press Hotel when we were in Maine last summer. It is practically the same combo of avocado + egg toast that I eat often, but these few tweaks? Make it so fancy and fun!
Speaking of Maine, I am dyyyying to go back. We went in late August and I wouldn’t mind doing the same time of year again. It was the best. But we really want to stay right on the beach this time. And there are so many options. What beach? In a condo or a house, all those things. And since I’m super late in the game and last minute, I’m sure all the good places are booked.
Of course. Welcome to my life! I just fly by the seat of my pants for everything.
And I want to go back so I can also eat this toast again. It’s a little much for me for breakfast, but it’s the perfect brunch or lunch toast. Or heck, even dinner!
At least, dinner for me.
Eddie would basically die if I tried to convince him that this was dinner.
So, yes. I’m definitely trying to pass off this avocado toast today as a legit recipe on my food blog. But as a millennial who apparently thrives off of the validation of invisible internet friends (hiiii I love you!), I have to say that I love this toast for a good reason!
First, shaving a hard boiled egg. I mean, I know. That sounds weird and frankly – gross. But by “shaving,” I just mean running it through a cheese grater. Sure, it’s not something you’re going to do on Monday morning before work, but it IS something that you could do for a lovely weekend breakfast, brunch with friends, or just a moment when you want avocado toast to seem not so basic and super EXTRA.
The toast at The Press Hotel also had a lemon emulsion drizzled on top. While it was good and I do love lemon, it wasn’t my favorite part of the toast. I’ve become really weird and don’t like citrus with my avocado toast. It reminds me too much of guac, which isn’t what we’re going for at all. So I left it up to you here to just do a spritz!
To finish things off we have flavorful and crunchy garnishes in the form of radish and chives. Lots of salt and pepper! A hint of lemon.
Just when you thought that poaching an egg was tricky, now I’m telling you to go ahead and SHAVE it. It’s definitely 2018.
Shaved Egg Avocado Toast
Ingredients
- 2 hard boiled eggs preferably cold - they will be easier to grate!
- 2 slices bread toasted
- 1 avocado
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to taste!
- 1 radish thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- As a note, here's how I made my favorite boiled eggs! Place the eggs in a saucepan and fill it with cold water. Heat the saucepan over medium heat (this is important!) and once it starts to simmer, let it simmer for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and cover it for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath. Let them chill for at least 30 minutes, then either use them or store in the fridge!
- Take the hard boiled eggs for the toast and use a cheese grater on them to get the egg shavings. Toast your bread!
- In a bowl, mash the avocado (to the consistency you prefer) with the red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the avocado on the toast. Top each slice with the egg shavings - pile it on high!
- Add the radish slices, and the chives. Sprinkle on an additional pinch of salt and pepper. Spritz with lemon and serve!

Oh, Maine 😍 I’m heading to New Hampshire for work for a few weeks and crossing my fingers I can find a day to head to Portland or the beach.
But this toast! Shaved eggs sound so good on avocado toast!
I know you aren’t an instant pot fan but have you tried hard boiling eggs in it?! I became such an IP believer when I put eggs in (on the trivet) with a cup of water at high pressure for 5 minutes and then natural release for 5 minutes then a nice cold ice bath after! The easiest eggs I’ve ever peeled and they are PERFECT on the inside every time.
i have!! i actually love the instant pot for that too! i just hate dragging out the IP itself.
I’m going to make it for lunch right now. And add some hot sauce!
love!
I think this is going to be my lunch every day this summer!! Love that combo! The shaved eggs would be great in a salad too!
love that!
Sooo cool recipe for toast! I’ll cook them for breakfast for myself and my husband! This is a nutritious and healthy dish – everything is perfect! Maybe I’ll try a little to change your recipe. If it works, I’ll write about it!
thanks!
Yes come back to Maine! I gave you recommendations last year and it is magical during the summer.
love it so much!
OMG when I saw the first picture in this post my first thought was this looks just like the best avocado toast I had last fall at the Press Hotel! It was SO good- thanks for the reminder! We’ve stayed there twice (live in MA) and the last time we also had dinner there one night – their cheese plate was amazing. We have been trying to get back all winter and haven’t made it happen – hopefully one weekend soon!
haha that’s amazing!! it is so good!
Hey, I know that toast! I’ve passed your post onto chef Josh Berry at Union. Thanks for the Maine shout out – come on back soon.

Thanks for the recipe! The drizzle of balsamic looks like a very nice touch and makes for beautiful presentation.
I just put this together and I m waiting for breakfast so I can devoure it… well thanks a ton for sharing.
I haven’t made anything like this before. Looks good. You are so hilarious as always. I always enjoy reading your posts.
I’ve tried for the past 6 months to get my husband to acknowledge Egg Avocado toast as a legitimate dinner too. It’s my delicious go to when he’s not home. lol. I’ve never thought to grate a hard boiled egg. I somehow would probbaly make it mush so I might use a egg slicer that puts into mini cubes. I think this will be lunch tomorrow. Thank you for the inspiration. I need to get some radishes now! =)
add some tomato, it was amazing!
I just made (and devoured) this for breakfast and it was outstanding! Healthy, tasty, and filling and so easy to make. Thanks for the tip on cooking the hard-boiled eggs too! I’m an egg freak.😏
The use of radish slices as topping together with pepper gives it a nice deicious taste.
Just made this for lunch. I didn’t have any radishes on hand unfortunately, but it was still so yummy without them. I topped mine with a sprinkle of some hemp hearts.
The part where you say to “Heat the saucepan over medium heat (this is important!) and once it starts to simmer, let it simmer for 1 minute” did you mean once it starts to boil let it simmer for 1 minute? Thank you :)

Everybody I have made this for loves it. I used sesame Ezekiel bread. I sprinkled a small amount of garlic salt or powder on the smashed avocado and shredded a beet-pickled egg. Pretty and yummy.

U are just too funny! I don’t read posts, I usually jump to recipes but I like ur context. U keep it short and humorous. I like that.
Thanks
The shaved eggs were super fun to eat! It reminded me of chunks of freshly shredded cheese. The second time I made this, Instead of avocado, I used quac on my toast, added pickled red onions, and finely chopped cherry tomatoes. A balsamic drizzle would’ve put it over the top!
