Smashed Avocado Toast with Jammy Eggs
Smashed avocado toast with jammy eggs is a vegetarian brunch favourite where creamy avocado meets silky eggs on golden bread. The Thermomix TM7 steams the eggs to jammy perfection, chops the garlic and basil in seconds, and blends the avocado with olive oil into a luxuriously creamy spread. Fresh tomatoes and basil finish this café-style breakfast at home.
About this recipe
Smashed Avocado Toast with Jammy Eggs on the Thermomix TM7 brings the brunch-café experience straight into your kitchen, and it all comes together with surprisingly little effort. If you have been searching for a healthy breakfast recipe or a quick vegetarian brunch idea for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this is the one to try. The TM7 steams the eggs in the Varoma until the whites are set and the yolks stay gloriously jammy, while the blades chop the garlic and fresh basil in just seconds. Ripe avocados are then mixed with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon into a creamy, spreadable base that clings to every corner of your toasted bread. Diced tomatoes and torn basil add freshness and colour, making this dish as beautiful as it is delicious. It is ideal for lazy weekend mornings, a protein-rich breakfast before a busy day, or an impressive light lunch when friends drop by. Because the Thermomix handles the chopping, mixing and steaming, you only need to toast the bread and assemble, meaning less washing up and more time to enjoy your brunch.
Preparation tips
- Choose avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed; overly soft ones turn watery when mixed. Add the lemon juice immediately after mashing to keep the avocado vividly green while you finish steaming the eggs.
- Steam the eggs straight from the fridge in the Varoma so the yolks stay jammy while the whites set completely. Plunge them into cold water afterwards to stop the cooking and make peeling much easier.
- For a kid-friendly version, finely chop the garlic or leave it out entirely and let children build their own toast with the avocado spread, tomatoes and halved eggs. A pinch of chilli flakes on the adult portions adds a welcome kick.
Recipe variations
- Make it gluten-free by swapping the bread for a good gluten-free sourdough or seeded loaf; toast it well so it stays sturdy under the creamy avocado spread and jammy eggs.
- For a festive brunch variation, top with smoked salmon strips, a dollop of mixed garlic-basil mayonnaise made in the TM7 bowl, and a few extra basil leaves for a colourful weekend spread.
