Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 slices rustic whole-grain or sourdough bread
• 1 ripe avocado (about 150 g)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (about 150 g)
• 1 tablespoon pine nuts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon dried herbs (parsley, oregano, or thyme)
• 1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

1. Prepare the jammy eggs
   Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and cook for 6½ to 7 minutes. Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 2 minutes. Peel gently and set aside.
2. Toast the bread
   Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp. Set aside while you prepare the toppings.
3. Make the avocado smash
   In a bowl, mash the avocado with salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mash until creamy but still slightly chunky.
4. Toast the pine nuts
   Place the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden. Remove from heat.
5. Assemble the toast
   Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices. Place one jammy egg on each slice and gently cut it open so the yolk flows over the avocado.
6. Finish the plate
   Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the toast. Sprinkle pine nuts, dried herbs, and chili flakes if using. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of black pepper.

Storage/Reheating
