Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Spread
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread (or your preferred bread)
- 1 ripe avocado
- Fresh lemon juice (optional, for the avocado spread)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Eggs
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter for frying eggs)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for eggs)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for eggs)
Serving & Garnish
- Fresh fruit (such as berries, orange slices, or a banana) for serving
- Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of whole-grain bread until they are golden brown and crispy for the perfect base.
- Prepare Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, then season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
- Fry the Eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness — sunny-side-up, over-easy, or over-medium. Season the eggs with salt and pepper while cooking.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
- Add Fried Eggs: Place a fried egg on top of each avocado toast slice for a protein-rich topping.
- Serve with Fresh Fruit and Garnish: Serve the avocado toast warm, accompanied by fresh fruit like berries, orange slices, or banana. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for easy mashing and creamy texture.
- Adjust egg cooking time to your preferred yolk consistency.
- Fresh lemon juice helps prevent the avocado from browning and adds brightness.
- Red pepper flakes add a nice spicy kick if you enjoy some heat.
- Whole-grain bread increases fiber and nutrient content compared to white bread.
- Fresh fruit can be customized based on seasonal availability or preference.
- For a vegan option, omit the eggs and add sliced tomatoes or smoked tofu on top.
