Eggs and avocado have always been staples in our home, and no matter how they’re served, they always make the perfect pair. One of our family’s favorites is boiled eggs mashed with avocado, a simple yet delicious combination that my daughter Rhea absolutely loves.

The crispy edges of the egg, combined with the smooth avocado, make for a truly satisfying bite. Now, whether we’re making a quick breakfast or a light meal, these two egg and avocado sandwiches are always on repeat in our kitchen!

Ingredients and substitutes
- Bread – You can use any type of bread – white bread, whole-grain bread, or tortilla. So pick your favorite bread.
- Avocado – Use fresh, ripe avocado and cut it just when you are ready to prepare the spread because avocado oxidizes quickly
- Eggs—For the hard-boiled egg, add the eggs to cold water and bring the water to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat, cover, and let it rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you can peel and grate the egg. Tip: Adding a slice of lemon to the water when boiling helps peel the eggshells easily.
- Sour cream – For making sandwich fillings. I use about 20% sour cream. You can also use cream cheese, Greek yogurt, cheddar cheese, or mayo.
- Lemon juice – Prevents the avocado from oxidizing. It is always best to use fresh lemon juice.
- Herbs – We like cilantro, but parsley or green onion leaves work great too. Finely chop the herbs. A few torn basil leaves add a nice, refreshing flavor too.
- Optional ingredients – A teaspoon of Dijon mustard is a wonderful addition.
