Ingredients
Scale
Toast and Avocado Spread
- 2 slices whole grain bread, toasted
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Egg and Toppings
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)
- 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the slices of whole grain bread until they are golden and crisp, creating a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Prepare the avocado spread: In a small bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash it with fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until creamy yet slightly chunky for texture.
- Assemble the base: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toasted bread slice to cover them fully.
- Cook the eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness, such as sunny side up or over easy, ensuring the whites are set and yolks remain runny if desired.
- Top the toast: Carefully place one cooked egg atop each avocado-covered toast slice for a hearty protein boost.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or chives, crumbled feta cheese, and red pepper flakes if using, then serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add sliced tomatoes or smoked salmon on top.
- A drizzle of hot sauce can add a spicy kick to your toast.
- Whole grain or sourdough bread works best to provide a hearty and flavorful base.
