Ingredients
For the Avocado Toast
- 1 slice whole-grain bread
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 large egg
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Toast: Toast the whole-grain bread slice until it reaches your preferred level of crispiness.
- Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash it with a fork. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Poach the Egg: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then carefully slide it into the simmering water. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the white is set and the yolk remains runny. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a paper towel.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the seasoned mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Place the poached egg on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle optional red pepper flakes for a touch of heat, and add extra salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste preferences.
- Cooking time for poached eggs can be adjusted for firmer yolks.
- Substitute whole-grain bread with gluten-free bread if needed.
- Optional toppings such as cherry tomatoes or microgreens can add extra flavor and nutrients.
