Ingredients
Base
- 2 slices bread (preferably sourdough or wheat)
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- ½ lemon, juiced
Eggs & Cooking
- ½ tablespoon butter
- 2 large eggs
Seasoning & Optional Toppings
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: Red pepper flakes
- Optional: Pico de gallo
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast your bread slices until they are lightly golden and slightly crisp around the edges. Once toasted, place them on a plate ready for topping.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: Remove the pit from the avocado, discard it, and slice the avocado flesh into a bowl. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the avocado to prevent browning and add freshness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired texture—whether chunky or smooth.
- Spread the Avocado: Evenly spread the mashed avocado over each slice of toasted bread, covering the surface.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a pan over medium heat and add half a tablespoon of butter. Swirl the pan to coat it evenly. Crack both eggs gently into one spot in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low to cook the eggs slowly. Let the edges brown slightly and the yolks begin to firm up while keeping them runny or cooked to your preference.
- Assemble and Serve: Carefully place each cooked egg on top of the avocado toast. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning. Add optional red pepper flakes or pico de gallo if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the toast warm and fresh.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Adjust the lemon juice amount to your preference to balance flavor and prevent browning.
- Cook eggs to your liking—sunny side up works well to keep yolk runny.
- Optional toppings like red pepper flakes add a spicy kick; pico de gallo adds fresh flavor.
- Use sturdy bread like sourdough or wheat to hold the toppings well without becoming soggy.
- Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy warm toast and perfectly cooked eggs.
