This Avocado Toast is a creamy, crunchy, and satisfying bite that’s as quick to make as it is versatile. Whether you keep it classic or go gourmet, it’s the toast that never gets old.
Ingredients:
- 1 slice of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, multigrain, etc.)
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 egg
- Olive oil or butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, lemon juice, chopped cilantro, sliced tomatoes
Instructions:
Step 1: Toast the Bread
- Toast your bread to your desired level of crispness. You can use a toaster, a toaster oven, or even a skillet.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if using.
Step 3: Cook the Egg
You can cook the egg in various ways:
- Fried: Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan. Cook until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny (about 2-3 minutes), or cook longer if you prefer a firmer yolk. Season with salt and pepper.
- Poached: Fill a saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Optionally add a teaspoon of white vinegar. Crack the egg into a small bowl. Gently slide the egg into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer for a firmer yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Scrambled: Whisk the egg in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a small amount of olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Step 4: Assemble the Avocado Toast
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
Step 5: Add the Egg and Toppings
- Carefully place the cooked egg on top of the avocado. Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and any desired toppings like red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!
- Serve your delicious Avocado Toast with Egg immediately.
💡 Pro Tips
✔ Pick perfect avocados: Slightly soft near the stem = ripe!
