Crisp sourdough supports lemony avocado and a warm skillet egg. A few red pepper flakes add heat without hiding the avocado's mild flavor.
The contrast in Avocado Egg Toast comes from sturdy, deeply toasted bread under a roughly mashed topping. Lemon keeps the avocado bright, while an egg turns a simple slice into a more substantial breakfast.
Choose an avocado that gives slightly near the stem without feeling hollow. Mash it just before serving, and spread it to the edges so the last bite has as much topping as the first.
Method
Toast the sourdough bread for about until crisp and golden. Meanwhile, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt and red pepper flakes.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and cook for until the whites are opaque, then flip and cook for until the yolks are set.
Spread the avocado over the toast, add the eggs and finish with black pepper. Serve immediately.
Forkue tips
- Leave a little texture in the avocado; a completely smooth puree can slide off the toast when cut.
Storing and reheating
Assemble just before eating. Refrigerate mashed avocado with wrap pressed against its surface for up to 1 day, then stir and spread on freshly toasted bread.
