Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy, either in a toaster or a toaster oven.
While the bread is toasting, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado and mash together until creamy but slightly chunky.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Spread the mashed avocado generously over each piece of toast.
Top each piece with cherry tomatoes, followed by one sunny-side-up egg.
Sprinkle each toast with feta cheese, a few fresh basil leaves, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper and basil leaves if desired.
