Equipment
- Toaster
- Non-stick Skillet
- Bowl
- Fork
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes optional
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice about
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by slicing your ripe avocado in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but slightly chunky. Set aside.
- Place the two slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown and crisp.
- Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry until the whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, about 2 to 3 minutes. For fully cooked yolks, flip and cook an additional minute. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices. Place one fried egg on top of each slice. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired. Finish with fresh cilantro leaves.
- Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for creamy texture and best flavor.
- Do not overcook eggs; keep yolks slightly runny for richness.
- Lemon juice prevents avocado browning and adds freshness.
- Toast bread well for satisfying crunch.
- Try variations like adding cherry tomatoes or swapping herbs for new flavors.
