Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 slices whole grain bread
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
Seasoning:
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Slice two ripe avocados in half, gently twist to separate, and pop out the pit with a sharp knife.
- Toast four whole grain bread slices until they reach a golden-crisp color, about 2-3 minutes at medium-high setting on your toaster.
- Scoop the entire avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl, mashing thoroughly with a fork until you create a creamy, slightly chunky texture.
- Add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and cracked black pepper to your mashed avocado, stirring until well combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and crack four large eggs directly into the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes until egg whites are completely set but yolks remain slightly soft.
- Generously spread your mashed avocado mixture across each golden toast slice, creating an even layer about ¼ inch thick.
- Carefully place one perfectly cooked egg on top of each avocado-covered toast slice.
- Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes over each toast, adjusting the amount based on your personal heat preference.
- Transfer your completed toasts to serving plates and savor immediately while everything remains warm and fresh.
Notes
- Selecting ripe avocados is crucial for creamy, smooth texture – look for ones that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- Fresh sourdough or whole grain bread provides the best base, adding extra flavor and crunch to the toast.
- For a protein boost, sprinkle hemp seeds or crumbled feta cheese over the finished dish.
- Gluten-free friends can swap bread for a crispy rice cake or roasted sweet potato slice to keep the recipe accessible.
