Ingredients
Scale

- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs (fried, poached, or boiled)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for cooking the eggs)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon or lime juice
- Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., cilantro, parsley, or chives)
Optional Toppings:

Instructions
- Toast the Bread:
- Toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispiness. Set aside.
- Prepare the Avocado:
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Mix in the lemon or lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Prepare the eggs to your liking:
- Fried: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness).
- Poached: Simmer water in a saucepan, add a splash of vinegar, and gently poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes.
- Boiled: Boil the eggs for 6-7 minutes for a soft yolk or 9-10 minutes for a fully cooked yolk.
- Prepare the eggs to your liking:
- Assemble the Toast:
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Place one egg on each slice of toast.
- Add Toppings and Serve:
- Sprinkle with red chili flakes, fresh herbs, or other optional toppings like tomatoes or feta cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle toasted seeds like pumpkin or sesame on top.
- Add smoked salmon for a luxurious twist.
- Leftover mashed avocado can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 day with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.
