Avocado Toast with a Fried Egg Yolk

This avocado toast with a fried egg yolk will be your new favorite brunch!

Avocado Toast with a Fried Egg Yolk and Scallion Cream Cheese is a deliciously indulgent twist on a classic favorite. Creamy scallion cream cheese is spread generously over toasted sourdough, adding a subtle oniony brightness that perfectly complements the smooth, ripe avocado slices layered on top. The star of the show is a golden, crispy panko-fried egg yolk, which adds a satisfying crunch and a rich, runny center that elevates every bite.

This toast offers a wonderful balance of textures and flavors—from the crunchy exterior of the fried yolk to the silky avocado and tangy cream cheese. It’s a perfect choice for a hearty breakfast or brunch, combining comfort and sophistication in one easy-to-make dish that feels both nourishing and indulgent.
