High-Protein Avocado Toast with Egg
SERVINGS: 2 A SIMPLE, SATISFYING BREAKFAST that delivers creamy avocado, crisp toast and perfectly cooked eggs in every bite. Easy to customize and packed with fla - vour, this dish works just as well for a quick weekday breakfast as it does for a relaxed
weekend brunch. INGREDIENTS: 2
s lices whole-grain or sourdough bread
1 2 1
ripe avocado large eggs
tbsp olive oil Salt and pepper, to taste Red pepper flakes, optional Fresh basil, cilantro or parsley, for garnish, optional Lemon juice, optional INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Toast bread until golden and crisp. A toaster works well, or toast in a skillet over medium heat for extra crunch and flavour. 2. Cut avocado in half, remove pit and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky, depending on preference. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice, if using. 3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into the pan and cook sun- ny-side up for 3 to 4 minutes, until whites are set and yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, flip eggs and cook for 1 minute more. 4. Spread mashed avocado evenly over toasted bread. Top each slice with a cooked egg. 5. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs, if desired. Serve immediately.
TIP: Choose avocados that are slightly soft to the touch for the best texture and flavour.
