🥑 Avocado Egg Salad Toast with Paprika (Mediterranean Style)
Creamy, satisfying, and full of fresh flavor — this Avocado Egg Salad Toast is the healthier twist your breakfast or brunch needs. Mashed avocado replaces most (or all!) of the mayo, making it lighter, heart-healthy, and naturally creamy. A sprinkle of paprika adds warmth and subtle smokiness for that perfect finishing touch.
