These Avocado Breakfast Flatbreads make getting up in the morning so much easier! They have a delicious combination of traditional eggs and lots of south-of-the-border flavor.
Looking for a unique, fresh, delicious idea for breakfast or brunch? You came to the right place! I served theseAvocado Breakfast Flatbreads a few weeks ago when we spent a fun weekend with our son, his wife and their sweet baby girl.
They were arriving mid-morning and we spoke while they were on the way. I asked if they were hungry and they replied, with no hesitation, "starving"!
This was definitely the fare to satisfy "starving" folks and I had the flatbreads ready when they walked in the door. We all ate eagerly and agreed that the delightful dish was a definite "keeper".
The recipe is super easy to put together with purchased naans, available at many larger markets and groceries. If you feel ambitious you could also use this wonderful recipe for Herbed Naan, a 5-Minute dough that requires no kneading and can actually be prepared several days in advance.
The rest is super simple, slice a few tomatoes, mash an avocado or two and quickly saute the eggs. It makes a lovely meal, and I think you'll agree, the results are unique, fresh and very delicious!
P.S. Although I call these Breakfast Flatbreads, they also make a fabulous lunch or casual dinner!

Ingredients
- 4 naans flatbreads or pocketless pitas, available at larger groceries and Indian markets
- 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large California ripe avocados cut in half, seeded and peeled
- juice of 1 lime
- sea salt
- 2 large Roma tomatoes sliced
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 4 large eggs
- thinly sliced green onions
- fresh herbs for garnish
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Prepare naans by heating 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a medium size non-stick sauté pan. When oil is hot, place 1 naan, flatbread or pita in pan and cook for about 30 seconds or until beginning to turn golden and fragrant. Flip to other side and cook another 30 seconds or until light golden. Transfer to a plate. Repeat for remaining naans.
-
Mash avocado with a fork. Add lime juice and sea salt to taste. Divide mashed avocado between the 4 naans and spread to within a half inch of the edges. Top avocado with sliced tomatoes.
-
Heat the same non-stick skillet (or a grill pan) over medium-high heat. Add ½ teaspoon butter and swirl it to coat the pan. Immediately crack one of the eggs into the skillet. Add 1 teaspoon water, reduce heat to medium low and cover. Cook for 1 minute then remove the egg from the pan by gently sliding onto avocado/tomato topped naans. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Repeat for remaining eggs.
-
Garnish flatbreads with sliced green onions and fresh herbs, if desired. Serve with a slice or two of fresh lime.

This is what I call good eats. Heaven knows we eat way too much naan, but I have to make this.

This is so lovely, Chris. I love avocado and if I can enjoy it for breakfast in one of these flatbreads... well, I think that would make for a very happy morning! Great recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Mr. & Mrs. P says
Sometime the most simple things in life are the most appreciated.... What a beautiful dish Chris....
Claire @ Claire K Creations says
Yum Chris! Oh how I wish I could call you and say I was 20 minutes away and arrive to this! We just found out we're being gifted an avocado tree as a housewarming so I'll have to save this one away for 2 years time when we get our first fruit! Ok I might make it before then but I can start a little avo pinterest board in the mean time.

I love flatbreads. Your dish looks amazing and I wish I could cook a perfect egg like that. I think they come to your house purposely starving....lol!! I know I would!
Denise Browning@From Brazil To You says
I need that avocado flatbread for breakfast to load my body with healthy calories and have the real happy, tasty meal. Pinning the second picture that I loved so much!
Pam says
It looks wonderful! I could eat eggs for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Yum.
The Mom Chef says
Oh heavens, that looks like an amazing mea.. You know me and the whole savory breakfast thing. I love the idea of the egg pillowed on tomato and avocado with flatbread to sop up all the juices. Swoon.
Alex says
What a beautiful idea... It really put a smile on my face, just to see it and imagine the flavour.
Ms Lemon of Make Mine Lemon says
Sorry for the second comment, but I just read your link on how to make your naan. If you have fresh rosemary please give it a try. When the fresh rosemary hits the griddle or skillet that has to be one of the best smells in the world, except for roses, and new grandbabies.
Ms Lemon of Make Mine Lemon says
I make flatbread every other week. I keep them in the freezer with wax paper between and warm them up as needed. But what I have been missing is your presentation. I am putting some avocado on the shopping list for this week. So beautiful and love the scallion and thyme instead of cilantro version. mmmmmm....
Elisabeth Foodandthrift says
This delicious,healthy, and gorgeous breakfast would last me through lunch! Love the colorful and creative version of how you presented it~
