Description
Here’s a delicious and simple recipe for avocado toast with egg, perfect for breakfast or a nutritious snack!
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1–2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 1 large egg (or more if desired)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Optional toppings: chili flakes (lemon juice, sliced tomatoes, radishes, microgreens, or feta cheese)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread:
- Start by toasting the slices of bread until they are golden and crispy. You can use a toaster or a skillet on medium heat.
- Prepare the Avocado:
- While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until you achieve your preferred consistency (smooth or chunky).
- Season the mashed avocado with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
- Cook the Egg:
- You can cook the egg in a few different ways:
- Poached Egg: Fill a small pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Create a whirlpool in the water and gently add the egg. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, then carefully remove it with a slotted spoon.
- Fried Egg: Heat a pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil or butter, and crack the egg into the pan. Cook until the whites are set and the yolk is still soft (or to your preference).
- Scrambled Egg: Beat the egg in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and pour it into a heated pan. Stir until cooked to your liking.
- Assemble the Toast:
- Spread the mashed avocado generously on the toasted bread.
- Top with the cooked egg.
- Add Toppings (Optional):
- Sprinkle with chili flakes, and additional salt, or add sliced tomatoes, radishes, or microgreens for an extra burst of flavor and nutrients.
- Serve:
- Enjoy your avocado toast with egg immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy!
Notes
- Avocado Ripeness: Make sure your avocado is ripe for easy mashing. It should yield slightly when you press it.
- Egg Cooking Methods: Feel free to adjust the cooking method for the egg based on your preference (poached, fried, or scrambled).
- Add-Ins: You can customize the toppings based on your taste—consider adding smoked salmon, crumbled bacon, or fresh herbs.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free bread if you want to make it gluten-free.
- Meal Prep: You can prep the avocado and toppings ahead of time; assemble before serving for the best taste and texture.
