This toast brings together everything we love in the morning: warm, crisp bread fried in butter, a smooth and creamy spread of avocado, eggs and cream cheese, the bright bite of onion, and tender tuna piled on top. Fast, satisfying, and genuinely delicious — the perfect way to start the day.
Ingredients
- Bread — 2 slices
- Butter — 1 tbsp | 15 g
- Hard-boiled eggs — 2
- Avocado — 1/2
- Cream cheese — 1 tbsp | 15 g
- Red onion, finely chopped — 1–2 tsp
- Green onion, chopped — 1 tbsp
- Lemon juice — 1–2 tsp
- Salt and black pepper — to taste
- Canned tuna in its own juice, drained — 4.2 oz | 120 g
Step-by-Step Recipe
- Prepare the toast: melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and fry the bread slices until golden and crisp on both sides.
- Make the spread: in a bowl, mash the hard-boiled eggs and avocado with a fork until mostly smooth. Add the cream cheese, red onion, and green onion, pour in the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Assemble the toast: spread the mixture over the hot bread slices and top with pieces of tuna. Add a little more black pepper if you like.
- Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp.
Serving and Storage
Serve the toast right after assembling. The spread can be made ahead and kept for up to 6–8 hours in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to keep the avocado from browning. Toast the bread just before serving.

Tips and Variations
- Bread: ciabatta, whole-grain, or sourdough all work well — choose something sturdy enough to hold the topping.
- Without butter: you can toast the bread instead for a lighter version that is still beautifully crisp.
- Add-ins: capers, cucumber slices, chili, a few lettuce leaves, or tomato wedges add freshness and lift the flavor.
- Swaps: tuna can be replaced with canned salmon or sardines; cream cheese can be swapped for Greek yogurt or ricotta.
- Texture balance: don’t overmix the tuna — keep it in larger flakes and place it on top instead of stirring it into the spread.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to add mayonnaise to the spread?
No. Cream cheese and avocado are enough for a lush, creamy texture. If you want a sharper note, add 1 tsp of Dijon mustard.
Which canned tuna is best?
Look for tuna in its own juice with no unnecessary additives. Drain it well before use and gently break it into large flakes.
Can I make it without eggs?
Yes. Increase the avocado to a whole fruit and add 1 more tbsp | 15 g of cream cheese or yogurt for the right creaminess.
