Avocado & Egg Toast
Ingredients:
1 slice of whole-grain bread
1 ripe avocado
1 egg
Chili flakes (to taste)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Optional: lemon juice, olive oil, fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley)
Instructions:
1. Toast the Bread:
Toast the whole-grain bread slice until golden and crispy.
2. Prepare the Avocado:
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if you like for extra freshness.
3. Poach the Egg:
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer.
Crack the egg into a small bowl.
Stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool and carefully slide the egg into the center.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer it more firm.
Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Assemble the Toast:
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
Place the poached egg on top.
Sprinkle chili flakes, a little salt, and pepper over everything.
Optionally, drizzle with a bit of olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs.
5. Serve Immediately:
Enjoy your healthy, flavorful Avocado & Egg Toast!
