Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 eggs
- 2 bread slices (whole grain or sourdough recommended)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by toasting the bread slices to your desired crispiness using a toaster or stovetop grill. Set aside once done.
While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Mash it with a fork until creamy yet slightly chunky.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preferred doneness, either sunny-side up or over-easy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
Place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado spread on each toast slice.
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, if using, and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.
Serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful meal.
