Ingredients for Avocado Toast
Here are the main ingredients you’ll need to make this quick and easy avocado toast with quail eggs:
- Avocado: use ripe avocado for making the creamy avocado spread.

How to Make Quail & Prosciutto Toast
It’s super easy to make this delicious avocado toast with quail eggs and prosciutto! Here’s how to put it together:
- Prepare the avocado spread first! Place the avocado into a large mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon or lime juice, salt and a touch of dill. Mash the avocado with a large fork until the mixture is smooth, then set it aside.
- Next, prepare the bread. Slice the bread on the diagonal for longer pieces. I like to spread the bread onto a baking sheet and toast it in the oven under the broiler.
- Time for the quail eggs! Preheat a frying pan with a little bit of oil and drop in the quail eggs. The easiest way to crack them open is to use kitchen shears. Frying on one side only for that sunny-side-up finish!
- Assembling the toast: once the eggs are done, spread the avocado toast onto the toasted bread and top with sliced prosciutto and capers. Drop a quail egg on top and garnish with fresh chives.
- Enjoy right away!
