Ingredients
2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
1 ripe avocado
2 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking eggs)
Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, cherry tomatoes, microgreens, feta cheese, lemon juice
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
- While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
- Cook the eggs to your preference:
- For scrambled eggs, whisk eggs and cook in a pan with olive oil or butter until just set.
- For fried eggs, heat oil or butter in a pan and cook eggs sunny-side up or over easy.
- For poached eggs, bring water to a gentle simmer, add vinegar, and poach eggs for 3-4 minutes.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
- Top each slice with a cooked egg.
- Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and optional toppings such as red pepper flakes, cherry tomatoes, or feta cheese.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Best enjoyed fresh, as avocado can brown quickly. Add lemon juice to mashed avocado to slow browning.
- Store eggs and toast separately if making ahead, for up to 1 day.
- Use any sturdy bread that toasts well like whole-grain, sourdough, rye, or multigrain.
- Customize with toppings like garlic powder, cumin, paprika, or fresh herbs.
- For a vegan version, skip eggs and use chickpeas or tofu scramble.
