Ingredients

  • 1 thick slice sourdough bread or whole-grain bread (40 to 50 grams)
  • 1/2 medium ripe avocado (about 100 grams flesh)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon flaky sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or preferred pepper blend

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread until golden brown and crisp on the outside while slightly tender inside.
  2. Cook the egg to your preference. For hard-boiled, simmer for 9 to 10 minutes, then cool, peel, and slice. Alternatively, fry, poach, or scramble the egg.
  3. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice and mash gently with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
  4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
  5. Place the cooked egg on top of the avocado layer.
  6. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado that yields gently to pressure for best texture.
  • Add lemon juice to help prevent browning.
  • Choose sturdy bread to prevent sogginess.
  • For extra protein, use two eggs per toast.
  • Store leftover avocado with the pit and wrap tightly for up to 24 hours.
  • Cooked eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Assemble just before serving to maintain freshness.
