Say hello to your new favorite breakfast—or anytime snack! This Mediterranean-inspired avocado toast recipetakes a classic favorite and gives it a bold, flavorful twist. Packed with fresh, wholesome ingredients, this recipe is as satisfying as it is simple.
Preheat oven to 350℉, slice tomatoes in half, and place on a baking sheet drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt for 20-25 minutes. Work on the other steps while the tomatoes are roasting.
Bring water in a medium pot to a gentle boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs, one-by-one, into the boiling water. Immediately set a timer for 11 minutes, maintaining a gentle boil. 11 minutes gives you hard boiled eggs. If you’d like soft boiled eggs, cut the time by two minutes.
While the eggs are in boiling water, make a bath of ice water in a medium bowl. Once the eggs are ready to come out of the hot water, quickly transfer them into the ice water bath using a slotted spoon. Let the eggs rest in the ice water bath for about 10-15 minutes, until cooled. Remove shells.
In a non-stick pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and halloumi slices. Over medium heat, let halloumi brown on each side for about 4-5 minutes. Let the halloumi get as toasty as you’d like!

In a bowl, roughly mash avocados with a fork. Spread avocado on toast. Place a few slices of warm, toasted halloumi on avocado. Add a few tomatoes on top of halloumi slices. Cut eggs in half, and place halves on top of each toast. Sprinkle with fresh oregano, and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately
Notes
You can use store-bought hard boiled eggs if preferred!
Don't have time to toast halloumi? Use crumbled feta instead!
Don't have time to roast tomatoes? Use fresh tomatoes instead!
