Ingredients
Scale
For the Avocado Toast
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread (or your preferred bread)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh lemon juice (optional, for the avocado spread)
- Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley) for garnish (optional)
For the Fried Eggs
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter for frying eggs)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
For Serving
- Fresh fruit (such as berries, orange slices, or a banana)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of bread until golden brown and crispy, either in a toaster or on a skillet to your preferred level.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth, then season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired to enhance flavor and prevent browning.
- Fry the Eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them according to your preferred doneness—sunny-side-up, over-easy, or over-medium. Season the eggs with salt and pepper while cooking. Optionally, sprinkle red pepper flakes for a mild kick.
- Assemble the Toast: Once the toast is ready, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.
- Top with Fried Eggs: Place one fried egg on top of each avocado-covered slice of toast.
- Serve with Fresh Fruit: Serve the avocado toast with a side of fresh fruit such as berries, orange slices, or a banana. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture that spreads easily.
- Adjust seasoning in the avocado spread to taste; lemon juice helps keep the avocado from browning.
- Cook eggs to your preferred doneness for best taste.
- Use fresh seasonal fruit for the best flavor and nutritional value.
- Fresh herbs add a nice aroma and complementary flavor but are optional.
