A delicious and nutritious breakfast option featuring creamy smashed avocado and a perfectly cooked runny egg on toast.
Equipment
- 1 non-stick skillet for cooking the egg
- 1 knife for avocado
- 1 fork for mashing avocado
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of bread
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
Optional Toppings
- Red pepper flakes
- Chopped fresh herbs
- Sliced radishes
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toast. Place a cooked egg on top of each and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Sprinkle with optional toppings such as red pepper flakes or fresh herbs for added flavor.
Serving
- Enjoy the avocado toast while warm for the best texture and flavor.
Storage
- If saving for later, store the components separately. Keep mashed avocado in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning. Consume within a day for best freshness.
