Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Mixture
- 1 ripe avocado (about 200g)
- 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Eggs and Toast
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter for cooking eggs
Instructions
- Mash and Season Avocado: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes according to your taste preferences. Mix well to combine the flavors evenly.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the whole grain bread slices until they turn golden brown and slightly crispy, providing a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, perfect for a luscious texture.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the seasoned smashed avocado onto each toast slice, covering the surface evenly.
- Add the Eggs and Finish: Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado toast. Sprinkle additional chili flakes over the eggs if desired for an extra kick of spice. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Adjust chili flakes based on your spice tolerance for a milder or hotter toast.
- Use gluten-free bread if you need to accommodate gluten sensitivities.
- For less runny yolks, cook eggs a bit longer to your liking.
- Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the avocado can prevent browning and add brightness.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick breakfast or light lunch that’s rich in healthy fats and protein.
