Avocado Toast with Egg

I love avocado toast, and if you add an egg to it you have a full meal. Sometimes I use balsamic vinegar to flavor the avocado instead of the lemon juice. You can make the egg any way you like, but I like it best fried or poached.

Preparation Details

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 5 mins

Total Time: 10 mins

Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 slices multigrain bread
• 1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• sea salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste

Steps

1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Crack eggs into the skillet side by side and cook until eggs are white on the bottom layer and firm enough to flip, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip eggs, trying not to crack the yolk, and cook until egg reaches desired doneness, 2 to 5 minutes more.
2. Meanwhile, toast bread slices to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Mash avocado in a bowl; stir in lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Spread avocado mixture onto toast. Top with fried egg and season with sea salt and pepper.
