Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking eggs)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • ¼ teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)

Utensils

  • Small non-stick skillet
  • Spatula

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices in a toaster or oven until golden and crispy. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Heat olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny (or cook to your desired doneness).
  4. Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread. Place one sunny-side-up egg on top of each slice.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, and fresh cilantro or parsley, if using.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while the egg is warm and the toast is crisp. Enjoy with a side of fresh greens or fruit for a complete meal!

Tips:

  • For extra crunch, try seeded bread or a rustic artisan loaf.
  • Swap the sunny-side-up egg for a poached or scrambled egg if preferred.
  • Add a slice of tomato or a drizzle of hot sauce for a flavor twist.
    This avocado toast with egg is a quick, wholesome way to start your day with a burst of flavor and feel-good vibes!
