Ingredients
Scale
Toast & Avocado
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Eggs
- 2 large eggs (poached, fried, or scrambled)
- 1 teaspoon oil for frying (optional)
Optional Garnishes
- Red pepper flakes
- Fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
- Prepare the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado using a fork. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste, then mix until well combined for a creamy spread.
- Cook the Eggs (Choose One Method):
- Poached Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs individually into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Fried Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side until eggs reach your preferred doneness.
- Scrambled Eggs: Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Pour into a preheated skillet and gently stir while cooking until the eggs are just set but still moist.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted whole grain bread slices. Place the cooked eggs on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- You can customize the eggs according to your preference (poached, fried, or scrambled).
- Adding lemon juice to the avocado prevents browning and adds a fresh tang.
- Use fresh herbs and red pepper flakes to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Whole grain bread provides additional fiber and nutrients compared to white bread.
