Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices whole-grain bread slices
- 2 large eggs
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Toast the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden and crispy, either using a toaster or under a broiler.
While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado using a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
Add the fresh lemon juice, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the mashed avocado, and mix well.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side-up or over-easy are popular options).
In a separate dry skillet over medium heat, add the cherry tomatoes (cut in half, if desired) and a light sprinkle of salt. Toss them for about 2 minutes until they are slightly blistered and warmed through. Remove from heat.
Spread an even layer of the avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
Place one cooked egg on top of each avocado-covered toast.
Distribute the blistered cherry tomatoes evenly over the top of each toast.
Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes on each toast for added flavor.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves. If desired, add a small pat of butter on top of the eggs for extra richness.
