Crispy toast topped with creamy smashed avocado, fresh herbs, and optional egg for a satisfying meal.
# What You Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 slices whole-grain or sourdough bread
→ Avocado Mixture
02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
04 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
06 - 1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes
→ Toppings
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives or cilantro, chopped
09 - 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
# Step-by-Step:
01 - Place bread slices in toaster or on grill pan. Toast until golden brown and crispy throughout, approximately 3-4 minutes.
02 - While bread toasts, halve avocado lengthwise and remove pit. Scoop flesh into small mixing bowl, discarding skin.
03 - Add lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to avocado. Mash with fork until creamy with small chunks remaining for texture.
04 - Heat frying pan over medium heat. Cook eggs to desired doneness, either poached in simmering water or fried in lightly oiled pan, 3-4 minutes for runny yolks.
05 - Spread mashed avocado generously over each toasted bread slice, reaching edges evenly.
06 - Place cooked egg atop avocado mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives or cilantro.
07 - Transfer to plates and serve while bread remains crisp and avocado is at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
