Truffle Salt Avocado Toast
I recently made these luxurious truffle salt mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving. To continue with this truffle salt trend, I thought I’d share something that I made a couple months ago when I first got the truffle salt from Truffle Shuffle for my birthday—avocado toast! Since I love having avocado toast for breakfast, and because it’s something that’s pretty difficult to mess up, it naturally became the first canvas for the truffle salt.
Besides the truffle salt, there are a few other staple spices that I usually like to add to my avocado toast: Everything Bagel seasoning, Trader Joe’s Mushroom & Company Umami Seasoning Blend, and garlic powder. Because I really wanted the truffle to stand out in this particular avocado toast, I made sure to only add a small amount of seasoning (especially knowing that there’s a lot of salt inside these seasonings as well).
Step 1:
Cut up the avocado into small chunks and mash it up with the Everything Bagel seasoning, umami blend, garlic powder, and truffle salt to taste. Toast a piece of your bread of choice, and spread the avocado on top.
Step 2:
Add some veggies of your choice (my favorite is arugula!). But Microgreens, alfalfa sprouts, spinach, tomatoes, or radish slices are also really great toppings.
Step 3:
Avocado toast is always better with an egg (non-negotiable unless you’re vegan—don’t @me). I think a poached egg works the best, and cooking it is really not as intimidating as you think. You can find some tips and tricks on this blog post here.
Step 4:
Sprinkle a little more truffle salt on top of the egg, and add freshly ground pepper on top.

Instructions
- Cut the avocado into small chunks and mash it up with the Everything Bagel seasoning, umami blend, garlic powder, and truffle salt to taste. You won't need too many of these seasonings, since their salt content is quite high. Toast a piece of your bread of choice, and spread the avocado mix on top.
- Top the avocado off with a few sprigs of arugula. Microgreens, alfalfa sprouts, spinach, tomatoes, or radish slices are also really great toppings.
- For the poached egg on top: Bring a pot of water to a soft boil/simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl to avoid egg shells when you add it into the water. Make a "tornado" in the water with a spoon before adding the egg. This will allow the egg to spiral onto itself and prevent it from falling apart in the water. Should you add vinegar? It’s totally optional. A little bit of white vinegar can help the egg stay firm, but I’ve made plenty of poached eggs without it.
- Poach the egg for 3-4 minutes, and let it drain on a paper towel before adding it on top of the avocado toast.
- Sprinkle a little more truffle salt on top of the egg, and add freshly ground pepper on top.
Hope this will inspire you to try out a glammed up version of this simple breakfast. Thanks again to Truffle Shuffle and my friend Sam for giving this jar to me for my birthday 💖
