Toasted bread meets creamy avocado and egg, enhanced by fresh herbs and spices for a vibrant bite.
# What You Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 slices whole grain bread
→ Avocado Mixture
02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
04 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

→ Toppings
08 - 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese

10 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Directions:
01 - Toast bread slices in toaster or grill pan until golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
02 - Halve avocado, remove pit, and scoop flesh into small bowl. Add lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and chives. Mash with fork until creamy but retaining slight texture.
03 - Heat nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Crack eggs into pan and cook for 2-3 minutes for runny yolks or 4-5 minutes for firm yolks. Slide spatula under eggs to release from pan.
04 - Divide mashed avocado evenly between toasted slices, spreading to cover surface completely. Top each toast with one cooked egg.
05 - Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and red pepper flakes over eggs. Grind additional black pepper on top. Serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The creamy avocado against crispy bread creates the most satisfying texture contrast
- It comes together in fifteen minutes but tastes like something from a fancy brunch spot
- You can customize the toppings based on what's in your fridge
02 -
- Rubbing raw garlic on warm toast before adding avocado adds an incredible layer of flavor
- Room temperature avocado spreads more smoothly and tastes brighter
- Don't rush the egg, that runny yolk creates a natural sauce when you cut into it
03 -
- Keep the avocado pit in the unused portion to prevent browning if saving half
- Warm your plate slightly so the toast stays hot longer
- Season each component as you go for layers of flavor
