This Smashed Miso Avocado and Egg in a Cup makes a quick and easy breakfast.
I’ve been obsessed with miso, avocado and eggs lately. You might have noticed my Breakfast Smashed Avocado Tomato Toast with Fried Poached Egg or the Smashed Miso Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Furikake posts recently.
There’s just something about the salty miso, creamy avocado and poached egg that I love. This Smashed Miso Avocado and Egg in a Cup is so easy, I almost didn’t post it, but I want you to try it, so here it is.

Cut avocado in half and remove the seed (I stick a small sharp knife into the seed and pull it out). Save the avocado shell.
Smash avocado and miso together using a mortar and pestle (or place avocado in a bowl and use a fork to mash it up). Scoop back into avocado shell. Use a spoon to make an indentation in the center of the smashed avocado.
Bring a small pot of water to boil; reduce heat to low immediately. Crack egg into water and cook 2-3 minutes to poach egg. When done, crack egg into center of smashed avocado.

This sounds so simple and so tasty! I so have to try the miso avocado combo!
Kevin – you think you would like it – packed with umami from the miso
Miso and avocado…I would have never thought of this combo. It looks healthy and very inviting!
Angie – you’ll have to give a try – it’s so good!
Jeanette…we have this Australian spread here called Vegemite which is exactly like miso paste and (no joke) i eat it spread on toast with eggs and avocado. This is genius. Pinning, winning and grinning.
Arman – I’ll have to try Vegemite – I’ve had Marmite, but not sure if that’s the same thing.
I love simple recipes like this, they are my favorite 🙂 This looks wonderful – I can’t wait to try this miso and avocado combo soon!
Kelly – I love it when something so simple tastes so good! Win Win!
I love the simplicity of this! Looks tasty 🙂
I love miso… and I would have never thought of putting a poached egg in an avocado! This looks so great… can’t wait to try!
Jeanette, what type of miso do you suggest here? White? Red?
Many thanks for this beautiful recipe. Will try this weekend!
Athena, I prefer white miso but you can use red too.
