The crunch of the hash brown pairs beautifully with the velvety avocado, while the fried egg’s rich yolk cascades down like a luscious sauce.
What truly sets this dish apart is its spicy kick, thanks to thinly sliced red chili peppers sprinkled over the top. Fresh cilantro and a touch of sesame seeds finish it off, creating a burst of flavor in every bite. Whether you’re making it for a lazy weekend brunch or a quick weekday breakfast, this dish promises to be a bold and delicious start to your day.
What Kind of Hash Browns Work Best?
For the perfect base, opt for frozen shredded hash browns or make them fresh using russet potatoes. The key is to squeeze out excess moisture so they crisp up nicely when fried. Golden brown, crispy edges are crucial for holding the toppings without getting soggy.
Ingredients for the Avocado Hash Brown Toast with a Spicy Kick
Hash Browns
You’ll need crispy hash browns as the foundation—they provide the crunch that balances the creamy toppings.
Avocado
Ripe avocados are essential for their buttery texture. They add creaminess and a mild, nutty flavor that complements the heat from the chili.
Eggs
Fried sunny-side-up eggs are perfect here—the soft yolk creates a rich sauce when you cut into it.
Red Chili Peppers
Thinly sliced chili peppers bring that irresistible spicy kick that wakes up your taste buds.
Fresh Cilantro
Cilantro adds a refreshing, herby brightness to balance the richness of the avocado and egg.
Sesame Seeds
A sprinkle of sesame seeds adds a nutty crunch and a slight toasty flavor.
How To Make the Avocado Hash Brown Toast with a Spicy Kick
Step 1: Crisp Up the Hash Browns
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Place the hash browns in the skillet, pressing them down gently. Cook until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 2: Mash the Avocado
Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Step 3: Fry the Eggs
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and fry the eggs sunny-side up. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Step 4: Assemble the Toast
Place the crispy hash browns on a serving plate. Spread the mashed avocado generously over each one.
Step 5: Add the Egg and Spicy Kick
Top with a fried egg, then garnish with thinly sliced red chili peppers, fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Enjoy while warm so the hash browns stay crispy, and the egg yolk remains beautifully runny.
Serving and Storing the Avocado Hash Brown Toast with a Spicy Kick
This dish is best served fresh, right after assembling. The crispiness of the hash browns and the runny yolk are at their peak when enjoyed immediately. If you need to prepare ahead, keep the components separate—store cooked hash browns in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat them in the oven or air fryer before assembling.
