This week I was on an avocado bender and I shared some tasty new avocado recipes and reminisced about some of my favourites that I have already written about and I realized that I had not mentioned one of my absolute favourite ways to enjoy avocados and possibly the simplest way, on toast for breakfast. It is so simple with just mashed avocado that is seasoned with a bit of salt, fresh ground pepper and perhaps a bit of lime juice and served on toast and yet it is so good! I recently came across the idea of a breakfast pizza that had an egg in the middle and I thought, wouldn’t it be nice to do a pizza version of avocado on toast except instead of toast use a pita and top it with a fried egg and possibly other toppings? As soon as I had the idea, I knew that I would have to try it and it turned out wonderfully well! I have been enjoying different variations of this avocado breakfast pita pizza all week trying different toppings like bacon or crumbled queso fresco in addition to the already amazing ‘plain’ version. One morning when I had a bit more energy I even went so far as to try a guacamole breakfast pizza with fried egg which was also really really good!
My favourite from all of the experiments had to be the bacon version! It is almost like salty bacon and creamy avocado were made for each other!

I love egg and avacado together. I usually place slices of avacado on top of eggs cooking sunny side up, place lid on top and cook very slowly. I am going to have to try your recipe now – with coconut flour tortillas instead of pita I think. Thanks for all the great recipes!
Beautiful! That is an awesome idea.
Cheers,
Rosa
What nice I think is an adorable idea;)
Omigod … how perfect is that ? !
Thanks, tomorrows breakfast is taken care of ~
oh yum!!!
I like eggs and love avocado! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂
I want this for breakfast! What a great idea.
How perfect and simple to boot! Fried eggs and avocado are two of my faves.
Bacon makes everything better, very intersting pizza. I adde this to my pinboard on Grubodex.com.
Avocado with runny egg yolk is one of my favorite flavor combos! Love this breakfast pizza.
How simple and delicious is this. Perfect avocado and beautifully cooked egg sitting on a pita bread. Perfect.
miam miam
Kevin, excellent recipe, so simple and easy to prepare. The lime juice in the mashed avocado explodes with flavor and then the bacon on top of that, simply superb! And the best part, my wife loved it! Thank you for your passion in the kitchen. Sincerely Dave, Green Bay, WI
Nice use of avocado. It would be super if you linked this post in to Food on Friday Series which is all about avocado.
WOW this looks incredible – what a great idea!!
mmm. There is no rule that says we can only eat this for breakfast, right? 🙂
At first I worried, what would I–being the sole eater in this household–do with an entire pizza for breakfast. Then you mentioned pita! I can manage that. I'm even thinking your toppings on one of those little sandwich thins. Anyway I look at it, you've got a great idea there, Kevin.
Keep writing…
Wow, so amazing!!!
Now I´m your new follower.
Un besito desde España!!

Dude. Want to thank you for this recipe. Going to try your sushi chicken recipe next
so is that what it looks like before or after you vomit up a avacado breakfast pizza on top?
Wow sounds so yummy!
Have a nice day
I just made this for brunch.. slept a little late today! And it was fantastic! I forgot to pick up a lime at the store, so I used our bottled lemon juice (probably a lil less than a tablespoon, I'm not a big fan of that stuff but I wanted the acidity), and it was still delicious. I didn't have bacon, but that didn't matter. I slapped about a tablespoon of salsa verde on top and went to town. So good! Thanks for the recipe idea!
I love avocado anything, but that egg completely sold my hubby. He says egg was on a ton of dishes in Brazil. Love it!
I have never heard of Avocado Pizza that is a first but it certainly looks good.
OMG I have been wanting to make a pizza like this forever.
This is brilliant. Thanks for weekend breakfast inspiration.
I can almost taste the creaminess of avocado. I love your idea, maybe I'll use 2 strips of bacon, and make some thing like Avocado Breakfast Burrito Fried Egg- or how about, boiled eggs??? what do you think?
Lisa: An avocado breakfast burrito with eggs sounds great!
That looks awesome! I always get bored with breakfast.
I'm making this tomorrow but I think I may add some left over homefires to the bacon too.
I really recommendmashed avocado on toast topped with a poached egg, seasoning and grated parmesan cheese. That washed down with a coffee is the absolute bomba!!
My uncle would love that! He is a huge fan of avocado. I will make sure that he gets this recipe. Thank you for posting!
I just tried this and it is amazing. Who would think such simply ingredients could make such and terrific breakfast! Love getting those email! Thanks Kevin 🙂
I added a dash of cayenne pepper to the avocado. So good.
Beutiful recipes!
