Instructions
Toast the bread
Take 2 slices of bread and toast them until they are crisp and golden. You can toast them in a dry skillet for a warm crunch. Then set the toast on plates so it's ready for building the dish.
Mash the avocado
To remove the pit, cut the avocado in half and scoop the whole flesh into a small bowl. Add salt, lemon juice, and a chunk of black pepper. Mash it with a fork until creamy but still a little chunky. This step keeps the avocado fresh and gives a homemade feel.
Cook the eggs
Take a nonstick skillet and heat it over medium heat, and add olive oil. Crack the eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes. You can cook a bit longer if you like them firmer. Then pop a lid on the pan for 30-40 seconds. It makes the simple avocado toast with egg recipe truly fast.
Spread and stack
Divide the mashed avocado in half and spread it between two toasts, edge to edge. Put one egg onto each toast. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if you need a little heat, and everything bagel seasoning if you want.
Finish and serve right away
You can add chopped chives, but it's optional. Now add a final pinch of salt and pepper. Serve it immediately, because it tastes best when warm and crisp. This is a quick and simple avocado toast with egg recipe for busy mornings.
Notes
- Pick a good avocado: Picking a good avocado is very important for this recipe to be good. You should not pick a rock-hard one, it won't mash well.
- Egg style swap: Fried eggs are easy and fast, but you can do scrambled eggs or soft boil according to your comfort zone.
- Keep it quick and easy: Keep everything ready and lined up so you can eat it fast.
- Topping ideas (optional): You should add toppings without making the core recipe complicated. You can add sliced cherry tomatoes, a pinch of feta, hot sauce, or extra pepper.
- Serving tip: To feel the crispness and warmth, eat right away.
