outstanding avocado toast with chickpeas and eggs.

June 22, 2024 by Becky Spoon

I prepared this Avocado Toast with chickpeas and eggs because a friend of mine shared a picture of a similar dish she bought in Corsicana, Texas, and I was inspired to make my own version. I really enjoy this kind of toast! It has a tangy flavor from the lemon juice and a creamy texture from the avocado. It’s absolutely delicious and very satisfying. Although I’ve been making avocado toast for a while, I’ve never tried it with chickpeas before.

what ingredients are required for this delicious toast?

avocados
lemon
salt and pepper
extra virgin olive oil
garlic clove
chickpea
smoked paprika
eggs
sour dough or bread of your choice
flaky salt, red pepper flakes, furikake (optional)

I seasoned the chickpeas with spicy smoked paprika and cooked them in a hot skillet until toasted. I really enjoy chickpeas prepared this way, and they also serve as a delicious snack. If you haven’t tasted toasted chickpeas, especially cooked in a skillet, you should definitely try them as they offer great health benefits.

I served this on a white with a gray tint plate which I love. I don’t use a lot of colored dishes unless I find one I really like. I love these. https://amzn.to/45A5A2A

My go to plates lately are gray and white and we actually love to eat in bowls!

To prepare this tasty breakfast dish, begin by making the avocado spread using one avocado. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the spread and season with salt and pepper. Utilize fresh sourdough bread, preferably from the deli, as it toasts up nicely and turns crispy. Toast two slices of the sourdough bread, then drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil and rub them with a clove of garlic. Next, spread the avocado mixture onto the bread, followed by topping it with fried chickpeas and hard-boiled eggs. For an extra touch, add some homemade fresh basil oil. Enjoy the deliciousness!

Finally I added freshly ground black pepper and a finishing flaky salt which I love!!! If you aren’t using a flaky salt to finish your dishes, you should! This is what I used https://amzn.to/2P19bjG

My Texas Take on Avocado Toast is how I like the popular Avocado Toast! I mean, which you rather have, a crispy corn tortilla or bread? Both are delicious but I really like the corn tortilla. And, it’s only 50 calories! Win-win!

I topped it with a medium cooked poached egg and this just makes a perfect breakfast! Sprinkling with red pepper flakes adds a little kick to already delicious avocado!

So Easy! My Texas Take on Avocado Toast

I poached the eggs in a saucepan that I brought water to a boil and added a little vinegar. I started a swirl in the middle and slipped the egg in. The vinegar helps the eggs set. I then cook to the desired doneness. I have an egg poacher that’s great just don’t usually drag it out. I do recommend one of you don’t feel comfortable poaching an egg the saucepan method. Here’s one I’d recommend: https://amzn.to/2T7Uaye

Heat your tostados under the broiler or in your oven. Spread each with the avocado. Top with your eggs. Add a little salt and pepper to your eggs and red pepper flakes if you like. Serve with your favorite salsa if you like.

Poaching the salmon

Cover and cook 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillet, or to the desired fineness. Do not overlook! I only cook for 5 because I like my salmon medium rare.

Building the Toast

Toast the bread and add sliced avocado. Sprinkle with lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place a slice of salmon, ribboning it out to cover the bread or some chunks. Drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with some red onion, sprinkle with dill fronds, salt and pepper, and serve with extra sauce.

For the sauce

Whisk together the Dijon Mustard, honey mustard, whole grain mustard, sugar, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Combine the oils in a cup. Slowly add the mixture to the mustard mixture, whisking constantly until emulsified. Stir in the dill and salt.
