Spicy chorizo and egg avocado toast is the perfect meal for any time of day! A bit of heat, topped with the creaminess of the over-easy egg, it’s a combination you’ll never forget!
This avocado toast recipe is very similar to the Chorizo Sunrise Sandwich from Einstein Bro’s. Chorizo avocado toast tastes just as yummy as a Chorizo Sunrise Sandwich but it’s homemade and healthier. What’s not to love?
My two boys are overjoyed when they wake up to the smell of fresh bacon or sausage cooking so I find myself cooking it more and more. Because of that, recipes like this one, bacon avocado toast, and sriracha avocado toast are on repeat at my house!

Ingredients needed for chorizo and egg avocado toast
1 Tablespoon Cooked Chorizo
Chorizo sausage is a lightly spicy pork sausage that pairs great with fats like avocado, eggs, and cheese. It’s perfect for this recipe.
1 Egg
You can good your egg any way you’d like. I prefer over easy but you can make scrambled, over medium, or over well.
1 Slice of bread
I like to use multigrain bread but you can use whatever bread you like best.
1/2 Avocado
If you have a small avocado, feel free to use the whole thing. But if you have a medium to large avocado, I would recommend using only half.
Instructions
Step 1: Cook egg how you’d like.
Step 2: Spread avocado over toasted bread.
Step 3: Sprinkle on cooked chorizo and place egg on top.
Step 4: Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.

There are many different ways you can spice up this toast and I recommend checking out the rest of my avocado toast recipes for more ideas!
Is Chorizo Spicy?
Chorizo is a lightly spicy sausage but it’s nothing over the top. There’s a small amount of chilli powder in chorizo which is why it has a kick to it. If you’re worried about spiciness, I would suggest buying mild chorizo sausage.
Is Chorizo Healthier Than Bacon?
Everyone has their own definition of healthy, but if we’re talking about calories, bacon has fewer calories per serving than chorizo. Also, chorizo has a larger amount of saturated fat per serving than bacon does. So, if you’re looking for a healthier option… I’d say bacon is the way to go based on those facts alone.
Can You Meal Prep Avocado?
Yes you can meal prep avocado to an extent. Before putting in a sealed, airtight container in the refrigerator, you can add a small amount of lemon juice to your mashed avocado. The acidity will preserve the avocado for longer. Even with lemon juice, a prepped avocado won’t last longer than 2 days in the fridge.
Top tip
To make things easier, you can make scrambled eggs with chorizo. Just before your eggs are done cooking, add your tablespoon of cooked chorizo and mix in. This way, you can just throw your scrambled egg and chorizo on toast in one step.
