Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley (optional)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)
- A drizzle of hot sauce (optional, for extra kick)
Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
- Start by toasting the bread slices in a toaster or on a grill until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Adjust to taste.
Step 3: Fry the Eggs
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and fry to your preferred doneness. For sunny-side-up, cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. You can cover the pan with a lid to speed up the cooking process.
Step 4: Assemble the Toast
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Carefully place a fried egg on top of each slice.
Step 5: Season and Serve
- Sprinkle red pepper flakes and fresh herbs on top for a burst of flavor. Add a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Toast Texture: For a crunchy contrast, use a thicker slice of sourdough or a rustic baguette.
- Egg Variations: If you prefer scrambled eggs or poached eggs, feel free to switch up the style!
- Spice it up: If you love spice, add some sriracha or chili flakes to your avocado mixture or drizzle over the top.
- Extra Toppings: Try adding cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of cheese (like feta or parmesan), or a handful of greens like arugula for a gourmet twist.
