Key Ingredients
๐ง 2 slices of whole grain bread, toasted
๐ฅ 1 ripe avocado, mashed
๐ฅ 2 eggs, fried or poached
๐ง Salt and pepper to taste
๐ถ 1-2 dashes of hot sauce (optional)
๐ฟ Fresh parsley or cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
1๏ธโฃ Start by toasting your bread until it’s lightly browned and crispy. You can use a toaster or toast it in a pan with a little bit of oil.
2๏ธโฃ Mash the avocado in a bowl and spread it evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
3๏ธโฃ Fry or poach your eggs and place them on top of the avocado spread.
4๏ธโฃ Season with salt, pepper, and a dash of hot sauce (if using).
5๏ธโฃ Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro leaves and serve immediately.
Handy Tips
๐จโ๐ณ To ensure your avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. If it’s slightly soft to the touch, it’s ready to use.
๐ฅ For a runny egg yolk, cook your eggs for 4-5 minutes if frying or 3-4 minutes if poaching.
๐ Use a good quality bread that’s fresh and has some texture to it. This will help hold the avocado and egg in place.
Heat Control
โ ๏ธ When toasting your bread, keep an eye on the heat to prevent it from burning. You want it to be lightly browned and crispy, not charred.
๐ฅ If frying your eggs, use a medium heat to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly. This will help you achieve a runny yolk and a set white.
Crunch Factor
๐ฐ The crunch factor in this recipe comes from the toasted bread and the fresh parsley or cilantro leaves. You can also add some crunchy elements like chopped nuts or seeds to give it an extra texture.
Pro Kitchen Tricks
๐ฉโ๐ณ To take your Avocado Toast with Egg to the next level, try adding some smoked salmon or bacon bits on top.
๐ฎ For a Mexican-inspired twist, add some diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeรฑos to the avocado spread.
๐ฅ To make it more substantial, top it with some sautรฉed spinach or mushrooms.
Storage Tips
๐ฆ If you’re not serving the Avocado Toast with Egg immediately, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 hours.
๐ฅ Make sure to keep the avocado and egg separate until you’re ready to assemble the dish, as the avocado can brown quickly.
Gift Packaging Ideas
๐ If you want to gift this recipe to someone, consider packaging it in a cute breakfast basket with some fresh fruit, granola, and a bottle of hot sauce.
๐ You can also wrap it in a paper bag or a reusable container with a handwritten note and a sprinkle of parsley or cilantro leaves.

Troubleshooting
๐ If your avocado is not ripe, try leaving it at room temperature for a day or two to ripen.
๐ฅ If your egg yolks are not runny, try cooking them for a shorter time or using a different cooking method.
๐ If your bread is too crispy, try toasting it for a shorter time or using a different type of bread.
