Description
A simple and wholesome breakfast featuring crispy whole-grain toast topped with creamy mashed avocado and perfectly cooked eggs, enhanced with a touch of lemon and spices for a fulfilling start to your day.
Ingredients
Toast
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
Avocado Mixture
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 2 eggs (fried, poached, or scrambled)
- Red-pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Toast Bread: Toast the two slices of whole-grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness using a toaster or toaster oven, ensuring they are golden and crunchy.
- Prepare Avocado Mixture: In a bowl, cut and scoop out the ripe avocado. Mash it thoroughly with a fork, then add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble Toast: Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted bread, covering the surface completely for the best flavor.
- Cook Eggs: Prepare the eggs as desired — fried, poached, or scrambled — ensuring they are cooked to your preference but with a runny yolk for added richness, if preferred.
- Top and Garnish: Place one cooked egg atop each slice of avocado toast. Finish by sprinkling red-pepper flakes over the eggs to add a subtle heat and extra flavor dimension.
Notes
- Add smoked salmon or microgreens on top to elevate the dish for a gourmet experience.
- Use lime juice instead of lemon juice for a slightly different citrus note.
- For extra protein, sprinkle some feta cheese or hemp seeds.
- Use gluten-free bread to make this recipe gluten-free.
