Instructions
Toast the bread: Place the slice of whole grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy.
Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Cook the egg: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook to your preference (fried, scrambled, or poached). Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Assemble the toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
Add the egg: Place the cooked egg on top of the avocado spread.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
Chef's Tips
- Ripe Avocado: Use a perfectly ripe avocado for the best creamy texture. It should yield slightly when pressed gently.
- Egg Variations: Try poached or scrambled eggs for a different texture.
- Extra Flavor: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or a sprinkle of feta cheese for extra flavor.
- Bread Options: Sourdough or multigrain bread works great for added texture and flavor.
- Storage: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the avocado mash ahead and store it with plastic wrap touching the surface to prevent browning.
