Simple Avocado Toast with Egg

Simple Avocado Toast with Egg is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack that combines the creamy richness of avocado with the crunch of toasted bread. Adding a fried or poached egg on top enhances the dish by adding protein and making it more filling.

Here’s a quick and easy recipe for making avocado toast with an egg.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado

• 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread

• 1 egg

• Salt and pepper to taste

• A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

• A drizzle of olive oil (optional)

• Fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions:

• Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting two slices of your preferred bread. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or a pan on medium heat. Toast the bread until it’s golden brown and crispy.

• Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired texture—smooth or slightly chunky. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.

• Cook the Egg: In a small non-stick skillet, heat a little oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook it to your liking. For a runny yolk, cook it sunny-side up or for a firmer yolk, scramble or fry it for a few more minutes.

• Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices. Top each with the cooked egg. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat and drizzle with olive oil if desired.

• Serve: Serve immediately while the toast is warm, and enjoy this satisfying and nutritious meal!
