Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 slices bread
- 1 avocado
- 2 eggs
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) olive oil
Garnish:
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro or parsley
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with 1 teaspoon lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper until you reach your preferred consistency.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small pan over low heat (300°F). Stir in 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Infuse for 30 seconds until fragrant, then remove from heat.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat (350°F). Add 1 teaspoon olive oil and crack 2 eggs into the pan. Cook to your preferred doneness, seasoning with salt and black pepper.
- Toast 2 bread slices until golden. For extra crispiness, use a dry skillet and lightly brush with olive oil before toasting.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly across both toast slices, covering the entire surface with a thick layer.
- Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado spread.
- Drizzle the spicy chili butter generously over the eggs, allowing it to soak into the toast.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or parsley. Add an extra pinch of red pepper flakes for more heat if desired.
- Serve the toast immediately while the eggs are still warm and the butter is glistening.
Notes
- Store avocados at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate to slow further ripening and prevent browning.
- Toast bread until golden and crisp for the best texture and to prevent sogginess when adding wet ingredients.
- Soft-boil eggs by gently lowering them into simmering water and cooking for exactly 6 minutes for perfect runny yolks.
- For a dairy-free version, swap butter with olive oil or use vegan butter, and replace eggs with scrambled tofu or plant-based egg alternative.
