Ingredients
Scale
1 slice of your favorite bread
1/2 ripe avocado
1 large egg
1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
Optional: dash of red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
Toast your bread to your preferred crispness.
While the bread toasts, prepare your egg. Choose your method: sunny-side up, over easy, poached, or soft-boiled.
If frying, melt butter or heat oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan. Cook until the whites are set and the yolk reaches your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
Peel and mash or thinly slice the avocado. Spread the avocado evenly over the warm toast.
Gently slide the cooked egg on top of the avocado layer.
Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, or your chosen seasoning. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a soft-boiled egg, cook for 6 minutes exactly after the water reaches a rolling boil.
If you prefer a richer flavor, use sourdough bread.
