Cut back on the café runs with a homemade breakfast sandwich that satisfies.
All right, my fellow vegetarians, gather ’round … and behold! I give you a perfectly toasted breakfast sandwich made in the comfort of your own home. (No DoorDash or café trips required!) This avocado egg sandwich is incredibly easy to make—in just a few simple steps, you’ll get the exact kind of breakfast sandwich you would buy at a café but with way more ability to customize. Plus, you can add more veggies, spices, or even meat to make it the most mouthwatering egg sandwich ever.
This dish has become a staple at many coffee shops and diners, especially those that cater to vegetarians. But the brilliance of this recipe is that both veggie-lovers and meat-eaters alike can enjoy it. With delicious egg and avocado, gooey cheese, and golden brown toast, this is a breakfast sandwich that would also be satisfying for lunch!
Is This Avocado Egg Sandwich Healthy?
With the ingredients being good sources of protein, and fiber, this is one well-balanced breakfast! It’s a great way to start the day off on the right foot. While this recipe is vegetarian, it’s not suitable for vegans. However, it can easily be made dairy-free with the use of a plant-based cheese and a dairy-free butter alternative. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free bread. I recommend the “Base Culture” brand, but you can also search for a local gluten-free bakery for fresh options.
The “Everything Bagel” Version
My favorite variation of this breakfast sandwich uses either everything bagel seasoning or actual everything bagels toasted to perfection. The combo of onion and garlic with poppy seeds and sesame seeds is iconically yummy. To make this version, either sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning onto the avocado slices or simply swap out the bread with an everything bagel.
If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning or bagels, you can sprinkle some onion and garlic powder onto your buttered toast instead. This lends some of the same flavors, inspiring you for the next time you make this with everything you need!

FAQs & Tips
This avocado egg sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight refrigerated container for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the avocado will brown over time, so it’s best to eat it as soon as possible. I don’t recommend reheating it.
When it comes to toasting bread, it really depends on your preference. Each method has its benefits. For example, if you’re short on stove space, it can be useful to simply pop the bread in the toaster while you’re making the eggs on the stove. If you use the stovetop, you have more control over how crispy the bread gets, though you do have to watch it more closely. If you’re using a toaster, make sure to butter the bread after toasting, while it’s still warm. If you’re using a pan, butter the bread first.
Other than the “everything bagel” option, you can also add either cooked veggies like spinach, kale, or mushrooms, or raw veggies like lettuce or tomato. You can also spread Avocado Hummus onto the bread or level up the spice factor with Sriracha Mayo. Just be careful not to over-stack it, or you might just make the leaning tower of breakfast sandwiches!
Serving Suggestions
Whether you go cooked or raw, there are many different side options that would pair well with this avocado egg sandwich. Serve your sammie with a side of Air-Fryer Breakfast Potatoes, Grilled Sweet Potatoes, or Spinach Salad.
But if you’re a meat-eater, and you’d like something ultra-filling, then try a side of Bacon-Wrapped Baked Potatoes or Air-Fryer Breakfast Sausage.
See? There’s always a little something for everyone!
