Ingredients
Scale
- 1 slice whole-grain bread
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Toast the slice of bread until it is golden brown and crisp.
- While the bread toasts, prepare your egg. Heat the olive oil or butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the egg into the skillet. Cook the egg to your preference (sunny-side up, over easy, or scrambled). Season with salt and pepper.
- Scoop the avocado flesh onto the toasted bread. Mash it lightly with a fork right on the toast.
- Season the mashed avocado with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
- Carefully place the cooked egg on top of the avocado layer.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if you like a little spice. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious breakfast!
Notes
- Use good quality, fresh bread for the best texture.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle the avocado with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before adding the egg.
- You can poach the egg instead of frying for a lighter option.
