No-Fail Avocado Toast with Jammy Egg

13 min total serves 1 4 steps

Creamy avocado, crunchy toast and an egg with a golden, jammy middle.

Dummy-proof tip

Jammy egg = exactly 7 minutes in boiling water, then straight into cold water.

The steps, in plain English

  1. 1

    Boil the eggs

    Lower the eggs gently into boiling water and set a timer for exactly 7 minutes.

    timer 7:00
  2. 2

    Cool them fast

    Move the eggs into a bowl of cold water. This stops them cooking and makes peeling easy.

  3. 3

    Toast and mash

    Toast the bread. Mash the avocado with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon.

  4. 4

    Assemble

    Spread the avocado on the toast, peel and halve the eggs, and lay them on top. More pepper.
