Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado (about 200g)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
Eggs and Toast
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter for cooking eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado spread: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, adjusting to taste. Mix well to combine.
- Toast the bread: Toast the two slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet until they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Cook the eggs: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs carefully into the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
- Assemble the toast: Spread a generous amount of the seasoned mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
- Add the eggs and garnish: Place the cooked eggs on top of each avocado-covered toast. Sprinkle additional chili flakes on top if desired for extra heat and flavor. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a firmer yolk, cook eggs longer or flip to make over-easy.
- Use gluten-free bread to make it gluten-free.
- Adjust chili flakes based on your spice tolerance.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to avocado to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
- Serve with a side of fresh vegetables or mixed greens for a complete meal.
