Avocado Toast With White Truffle Milan Truffle Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 thick slices sourdough or whole-grain bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• ½–1 teaspoon Milan Truffle White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for finishing
• Fine sea salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes, microgreens, shaved Parmesan, chopped chives or thinly shaved fresh white truffle

How to Make Truffle Avocado Toast With Egg

1. Cook the eggs. Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Lower in the eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer them immediately to cold water, peel and halve.
2. Toast the bread. Toast the bread until the surface is crisp and golden but the center remains slightly tender.
3. Season the avocado. Mash the avocado with the lemon juice, a small pinch of salt and black pepper. Keep some texture rather than making it completely smooth.
4. Assemble. Divide the avocado between the two slices of toast. Place one egg on each toast.
5. Finish with truffle oil. Drizzle ¼ to ½ teaspoon of Milan Truffle White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil over each toast. Finish with pepper and serve immediately.

Egg-safety note: This recipe produces a softly cooked yolk. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s egg-safety guidance recommends cooking eggs until the yolk and white are firm; when serving eggs undercooked, use pasteurized shell eggs or pasteurized egg products, particularly for people at increased risk of foodborne illness.

Why White Truffle Oil Pairs With Avocado and Egg

Avocado, egg and bread are mild enough to leave room for truffle aroma. Avocado supplies creaminess, egg adds richness, and crisp toast provides contrast. White truffle extra virgin olive oil contributes the final aromatic layer.

The egg also connects the ingredients: its warm yolk mixes with the avocado while the finishing oil remains noticeable on the surface. This is why the oil is added after assembly rather than poured into the pan or boiling water.

The lemon is used sparingly and mixed into the avocado rather than added to the truffle oil itself. Its role is to brighten the rich avocado. This differs from a sharp, vinegar-forward dressing, where acidity can become the dominant flavor and make the truffle aroma harder to notice.

How Much Truffle Oil Should You Use?

Add the white truffle oil at the end, after the bread, avocado and egg have been assembled. Truffle oil is most useful as a finishing oil because its aroma is immediately noticeable at the table.

Start with approximately ¼ teaspoon per toast and use up to ½ teaspoon when you want a more pronounced truffle finish. The goal is to complement the avocado and egg, not cover them.

Choosing the Best Egg Style

For the most balanced version, we recommend a 7-minute soft-boiled egg: the white is easy to halve while the yolk remains creamy. Other preparations change the texture of the toast:

• Soft-boiled: Milan’s preferred balance of creamy yolk and neat presentation.
• Poached: A flowing yolk that becomes part of the avocado topping.
• Fried: Crisp edges and greater textural contrast.
• Scrambled: Practical when preparing several servings.

Three Mistakes To Avoid

Using too much truffle oil

The toast should smell clearly of truffle without leaving an oily finish. If the oil becomes the only flavor you notice, use less on the next serving.

Adding truffle oil before cooking

Do not add white truffle oil to the boiling water, frying pan, or toaster. Add it after the food is prepared, when the toast and egg are warm but no longer over direct heat.

Overloading the toast with competing toppings

Truffle avocado toast is at its best when it remains simple. Heavy sauces, excessive hot sauce, large amounts of garlic, smoked ingredients, or too many toppings can make the truffle aroma harder to notice. Avocado, egg, sourdough, Parmesan, chives, and white truffle oil provide enough flavor without needing additional layers.

Milan Truffle Recommended Version

For the version we recommend most often, use thick-cut sourdough, a 7-minute soft-boiled egg, ripe avocado, a small amount of shaved Parmesan, and ½ teaspoon of Milan Truffle White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil per serving.

This combination provides the best balance of richness, texture, and truffle aroma while keeping the dish simple and easy to prepare.

Optional Variations

Add Parmesan and chives

Use a small amount of shaved Parmesan and freshly chopped chives for a more savory brunch-style version. Add the Parmesan before the truffle oil so the finishing drizzle remains the final aromatic layer.

Our preferred garnish is shaved Parmesan rather than grated Parmesan. Thin shavings add savory depth while leaving more of the avocado and egg exposed, allowing the white truffle aroma to remain easier to appreciate.

Add microgreens

Microgreens add freshness and a light visual contrast. They work well when you want a more vegetable-forward version of the toast.

Add red pepper flakes

Use red pepper flakes sparingly. A small amount adds warmth, but too much heat can distract from the white truffle aroma.

Make it without egg

Omit the egg and use more avocado, thinly sliced radish, microgreens, shaved Parmesan, or another preferred topping. Finish with white truffle oil just before serving. For a fully plant-based version, use our vegan truffle avocado toast recipe.

Add fresh white truffle

If fresh white truffle is available, shave a small amount over the finished toast after adding the white truffle oil. Keep the rest of the preparation simple so the fresh truffle remains noticeable.
