Ingredients

Scale

For the Avocado Toast:

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Egg:

  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

Instructions

Preparation:

  1. Toast the Bread (3 minutes): Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden and crispy.

  2. Prepare the Avocado Spread (5 minutes): In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add red pepper flakes if desired.

  3. Cook the Eggs (5 minutes):

    • For Fried Eggs: Heat butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Season with salt and pepper.
    • For Poached Eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Add a splash of vinegar. Gently crack each egg into a small bowl and slide it into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes and remove with a slotted spoon.
  4. Assemble the Toast (2 minutes): Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.

  5. Top with Eggs (1 minute): Place a cooked egg on top of each avocado toast.

  6. Add Optional Toppings (2 minutes): Garnish with cherry tomatoes, microgreens, feta cheese, or everything bagel seasoning as desired.

Notes

  • You can use scrambled or hard-boiled eggs instead of fried or poached eggs.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze or hot sauce.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
