Creamy avocado toast has become incredibly popular over the years, but small additions like fresh herbs, walnuts, and gooey eggs can help turn it into a more balanced and satisfying meal. This version combines healthy fats, fibre, and protein with simple ingredients that work well for busy mornings, quick lunches, or slower weekend brunches.

Avocados are naturally rich in healthy fats and fibre, helping create meals that feel more satisfying and balanced. Eggs provide protein alongside nutrients like choline and vitamin B12, whilst walnuts add crunch, healthy fats, and plant compounds. Fresh herbs such as parsley and dill not only bring freshness and flavour, but also contain antioxidants and micronutrients including vitamin C and vitamin K. Together, these ingredients create a simple meal that feels nourishing, colourful, and full of flavour whilst still being practical for everyday life.

Why this recipe works

➡️ Healthy fats from avocado, walnuts, olive oil, and eggs help create a more satisfying and balanced meal whilst supporting overall heart health.

➡️ Protein from the eggs helps support fullness and provides important nutrients including choline, selenium, and vitamin B12.

➡️ Fibre and carbohydrates from the sourdough, avocado, herbs, and walnuts help provide energy whilst supporting gut health and digestion.

➡️ Fresh herbs like parsley and dill contain antioxidants alongside nutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin K, adding freshness and flavour without relying on heavily processed sauces or flavourings.

➡️ A balanced combination of carbohydrates, protein, fats, and fibre can help support steadier energy levels and satisfaction throughout the morning.
