  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 slices whole-grain bread (or your choice of bread)

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 1 egg (fried, poached, or scrambled)

  • Olive oil (optional, for toasting the bread)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

  • Fresh lemon juice (optional, for flavor)

  • Fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or chives for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast 2 slices of your preferred bread until golden and crispy. You can toast in a toaster or pan-toast with a bit of olive oil for added flavor.

  2. Mash the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork to your desired texture. Add salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.

  3. Cook the Egg: Heat a small pan over medium heat and add a bit of oil or butter. Crack the egg into the pan and cook it to your preference—sunny side up, poached, or scrambled.

  4. Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Carefully place the cooked egg on top of the avocado.

  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, or other toppings of your choice, such as cheese or tomatoes.

  6. Serve: Serve immediately, and enjoy your nutritious and delicious avocado toast with egg!

Notes

  • For Vegans: Replace the egg with a tofu scramble or chickpea scramble to keep the protein content high and the dish vegan-friendly.

  • Toppings: Feel free to add extras like sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.

  • Bread: You can use gluten-free bread if needed, or experiment with sourdough for a tangy twist.
