So it's really not surprising that cooks on the site have shared their unique takes on avocado toast over the years – and there's one spin on the now-classic dish that has generated a lot of enthusiasm recently.

According to reports, a video from Sarah Thomas-Drawbaugh has made everyone change their minds on how to use hard-boiled eggs. The TikTok account of Thomas-Drawbaugh is @healthyishfoods and her video on how to make avocado toast has gone viral.
After toasting bread, putting mayo on the bread, and adding avocado, she then grates a hard-boiled egg onto the toast. Her video has been viewed more than 3 million times and has inspired a host of imitators.
In an interview with “Today”, Thomas-Drawbaugh said that while she was surprised to see her recipe go viral, the phenomenon ultimately made sense to her, given that her combo of ingredients is a time-tested one.
"I always like to reinvent classic recipes, and what's more classic for breakfast than egg and avocado?” she asked.
