Egg & Avocado Toast

A hearty avocado toast topped with a perfectly cooked egg.

Instructions

1. 1.

   Prepare the avocado mash: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Add the lime or lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mash with a fork to your desired consistency – chunky or smooth.

2. 2.

   Toast the bread: Toast the bread slices in a toaster or a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crisp. A well-toasted slice provides a good base for the avocado.

3. 3.

   Cook the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, ensuring they don't touch. Cook sunny-side up until the whites are fully set but the yolks are still perfectly runny, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. For over-easy eggs, carefully flip and cook for another 30 seconds.

4. 4.

   Assemble the toast: Drizzle each toasted bread slice with a little olive oil, if desired. Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.

5. 5.

   Serve immediately: Carefully place one perfectly cooked egg on top of each avocado toast. Garnish with additional red pepper flakes and fresh chopped cilantro or chives, if using. Serve warm.
