Green Avocado Toast Egg (Printer-friendly)
Toasted bread with creamy avocado, a cooked egg, and fresh herbs for a vibrant, satisfying start.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 slices whole grain bread
→ Avocado Mixture
02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
04 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
→ Eggs
07 - 2 large eggs
→ Toppings
08 - 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
09 - Pinch of red pepper flakes
10 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
# How to Prepare:
01 - Place bread slices in toaster or grill pan and toast until golden brown and crispy throughout.
02 - Halve and pit the avocado. Scoop flesh into a small bowl and mash with a fork. Add lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and chives. Mix until creamy but retaining some chunky texture.
03 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs directly into the pan. For sunny-side up with runny yolks, cook 2-3 minutes until whites are set. For firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes or flip briefly.
04 - Divide the mashed avocado mixture evenly between the two toasted slices, spreading thickly to the edges.
05 - Place a cooked egg atop each avocado-covered toast. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, red pepper flakes, and additional black pepper. Serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The creamy avocado against warm crispy bread creates the most satisfying texture contrast
- It comes together in under fifteen minutes but tastes like something from a fancy brunch spot
02 -
- Avocados can be finicky so buy them a few days ahead and let them ripen on the counter
- Work quickly once the eggs are done because overcooked yolks completely change the experience
03 -
- Keep the avocado pit in the leftover mashed portion to prevent browning if storing
- Warm your plate before serving to keep everything at the perfect temperature longer
