Avocado and Egg Toast
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Olive oil (optional)
- Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley, for garnish)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, scoop the flesh of the avocado into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
- Cook the Eggs: In a small skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook them to your liking—sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted slices of bread. Top each slice with a cooked egg.
- Season and Serve: Sprinkle red pepper flakes, additional salt, and pepper on top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious avocado and egg toast!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider spreading a bit of cream cheese or hummus on the toast before adding the avocado.
- You can also add toppings like sliced tomatoes, radishes, or smoked salmon for a twist on this classic dish.
