Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread
- 2 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes, lime juice, or fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.
- Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork, adding salt and pepper to taste. For an added zing, you can mix in a few drops of lime juice if desired.
- Cook the Eggs: In a small pan, bring water to a simmer and add the eggs. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Alternatively, you can scramble or fry the eggs according to your preference.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices. Place a cooked egg on top of each slice.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or fresh herbs if desired.
