Ingredients
Serves 1 hungry morning person
- 1 slice of whole-grain or sourdough bread (because we’re fancy like that)
- ½ ripe avocado, mashed to creamy perfection (use an Avocado Slicer for quick, safe slicing).
- 1 large egg (fried, scrambled, or poached – chef’s choice!)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings for extra fun:
- Cherry tomatoes (tiny flavor bombs)
- Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or whatever’s in the fridge)
- Red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning (hello, flavor town!)
- A drizzle of olive oil or hot sauce for the brave 😉
Instructions
1. Toast Like a Pro
Pop that slice of bread into the toaster (or pan if you’re feeling extra) and toast until golden brown. Whole-grain bread adds fiber, and sourdough brings that delicious tang – both make excellent vehicles for avocado goodness.
2. Mash & Season the Avocado 🥑
While the bread’s getting its tan on, grab your avocado half. Mash it up in a bowl with a fork until it’s just the right level of creamy but still a little chunky. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper to jazz it up.
3. Get Eggy with It 🍳
Now, it’s egg time! Here’s where you get to choose your own egg adventure:
- Fried: Heat a little oil in a pan, crack the egg in, and let it cook till the whites are set but the yolk is still gooey. Yum!
- Scrambled: Whisk it up, add a pinch of salt, and cook until it’s soft and fluffy.
- Poached: Feel like a pro? Simmer some water, add vinegar, and gently slide in the egg. Three minutes, and voilà!
4. Assemble the Masterpiece
Spread that mashed avocado like you mean it on the toasty bread. Place your cooked egg on top like the crown jewel it is. Look at that – you’re an artist!
5. Top It Off Like a Boss
Now for the fun part – toppings! Halved cherry tomatoes, fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, or a drizzle of hot sauce. Make it yours! Your toast, your rules. 🎨✨
Fun Tips & Tricks
- Perfect Avocado Picking: A ripe avocado is your best friend here. It should feel soft but not mushy. Give it a gentle squeeze, and if it gives a little, it’s good to go!
- Get Creative: Don’t stop at the basics – add smoked salmon, crumbled feta, or a sprinkle of microgreens if you’re feeling extra fancy.
- No Egg? No Problem!: Try a sprinkle of chickpeas, a spread of hummus, or even a tofu scramble if you’re keeping it plant-based. 🥕🌱
