This spicy chili butter avocado toast takes the breakfast favorite to new heights by combining creamy avocado and perfectly cooked eggs with a kick of homemade chili butter. Each bite delivers waves of flavor - from the rich, spicy butter to the creamy avocado and hearty eggs, all supported by crusty sourdough toast. It's like having your favorite café breakfast elevated with a chef's touch.
Last weekend, I served this at a brunch gathering, and my friend who "doesn't do spicy" asked for seconds. The way the chili butter melts into the avocado creates something truly magical.

This recipe emerged from my quest to elevate simple avocado toast into something special. After experimenting with different butter infusions and egg techniques, this version achieves that perfect balance of comfort and sophistication.
Making it Your Own
Through countless brunches, I've learned that success lies in the details - the quality of your bread, the ripeness of your avocado, and most importantly, your chili butter spice level. I particularly love how this recipe welcomes variations - sometimes I'll add smoked salmon, other times I'll include crispy bacon.
