Recipe Ingredients
- Bread – For this recipe, be sure to use a sturdy bread that toasts up nicely. Crusty French bread, artisanal bread or even sourdough would all work great.
- Kewpie Mayonassie – Add a thin layer of kewpie mayo to the toasted bread. The creamy, rich mayo tastes amazing with the egg.
- Avocado – Use half of a small avocado per each slice of toast. Be sure to slice the avocado thin and place it over the mayo.
- Egg – You will use one hardboiled egg per slice. Gently grate it using a microplane grater. You will add the grated egg on top of the avocado.
- Sriracha – Add a few dots of sriracha on top of the egg. This adds a little spice which tastes amazing. Option to use chili oil instead.
- Seasoning – Season with a pinch of kosher salt and cracked black pepper before enjoying.
Tips and Tricks to Perfectly Grated Eggs
For this recipe, I suggest using store-bought hardboiled eggs that have been peeled and refrigerated. If you do not have them handy, be sure to cook your eggs until the yolk is fully set inside.
Once you peel the eggs, let them rest in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes so they are not too soft on the outside. When they are too soft they are harder to grate.
Also be sure to use a sharp microplane grater. Dull blades will make this technique hard to achieve.
How to Make Grated Egg Avocado Toast
Toast one slice of crusty bread. Add a thin layer of kewpie mayo. Add the sliced avocado on top of the kewpie mayo.
Use your microplane grater to shave the egg on top of the avocado. Season with kosher salt and cracked pepper. Add a few dots of sriracha.
Best enjoyed immediately.
Variations
Try adding other toppings. Ingredients like grated cheese, shallots, green onions or hot sauce would all taste great!
Swap the sriracha. Option to use chili oil instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
I would not. Avocado browns as it oxidizes and the grated egg can lose its fluffiness overtime.
Enjoy with tea or coffee. It also makes a great mid-day snack.

Would this work with the roasted sesame kewpie dressing?
I’m not sure. I’ve never tried that dressing. LMK if you give it a try.
This is a brilliant idea. I came across this on Instagram not realizing it had gone viral on TikTok. Normally not one to partake in food trends that go viral…I loved this one. As someone who doesn’t have time to cook eggs in the morning before work I can easily hard boil the eggs ahead of time (I’ve found 10 minutes is perfection for a hard boiled egg) and then just assemble everything in the morning. Looooove a heavy drizzle of siracha on top. Pro tip: zap in microwave for a few seconds to take the chill off the egg and avocado if you’re using an avocado from the fridge.
I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to try these grated eggs!!! I put mine on a wrap with some laughing cow cheese nd hot sauce because I didn’t have any yummy toast or avocado. Omg the grated egg is a game changer! Love the texture! Sarah, you are a wizard!!!
Do you use a a fine or course microplane paddle? Can you tell me which brand you use? Thanks so much!😊

Tik tok scrolling finally paid off with this one! I’ve made this for breakfast and dinner and I would have had it for lunch if I was home. The eggs are just ridiculously good!
I’ve made this for breakfast the last two days. It’s delicious! I need to get more avocados because I’m addicted now. Super quick, easy and delicious!
I had to try the grated egg avo toast and it was, delish! I smashed my avocado, grated the egg on top and drizzled a little red chili olive oil and it was like eating a cloud! I am super excited to try other grated egg recipes in the future. I love Sarah and her food blog! (Forgot to rate!)
