Ingredients
For the Avocado Toast
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread, toasted
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh lemon juice, optional, a squeeze
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
For the Fried Eggs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter, for frying
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For the Fresh Fruit Side
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (such as berries, orange segments, kiwi, or melon)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices until they are golden and crisp, providing a sturdy and flavorful base for the avocado and eggs.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado using a fork. Season with salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired to brighten the flavor. Mix well to combine.
- Spread Avocado on Toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
- Fry the Eggs: Heat the olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs carefully into the skillet, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny. Flip gently and cook longer if over-easy or over-hard eggs are preferred.
- Assemble the Toasts: Place one fried egg on top of each avocado-covered toast slice. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a hint of heat if using, and season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve with Fresh Fruit: Serve the avocado toasts immediately with a side of fresh mixed fruit to complete this balanced meal.
Notes
- For added variety, top the avocado toast with ingredients like crumbled feta cheese, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh microgreens, or everything bagel seasoning.
- This recipe makes a nutritious and balanced breakfast or a light lunch that’s quick and easy to prepare.
- Adjust the egg cooking time based on your preferred yolk consistency—runny, medium, or fully cooked.
