Description
The ultimate quick healthy snack idea for fast fueling. This simple avocado toast is topped with a perfectly cooked egg for a boost of protein.
Ingredients
1 slice whole-grain bread
1/2 large ripe avocado
1 large egg
1 teaspoon olive oil (or butter)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Red pepper flakes, optional garnish
Instructions
1. Toast the slice of whole-grain bread until golden and crispy.
2. While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Cut the avocado half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
3. Cook the egg to your preference (fried, poached, or scrambled). For a fried egg, heat the olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes for a runny yolk.
4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
5. Top the avocado toast with the cooked egg.
6. Garnish with red pepper flakes, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon or lime juice over the mashed avocado.
Add other toppings like “Everything Bagel” seasoning, feta cheese, or sliced cherry tomatoes.
