Ingredients

2 slices whole-grain bread, toasted

1 ripe avocado

2 large eggs

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 tsp paprika or red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)

1 tbsp chives, chopped (or green onions)

1 tsp sunflower seeds or sesame seeds for garnish

Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Mash

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Step 2: Soft-Boil the Eggs

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and gently lower the eggs into the water with a spoon.

Cook for 6-7 minutes for a perfectly soft yolk, or adjust the time slightly depending on your preference.

Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. After a minute, peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half.

Step 3: Assemble the Toast

Toast the whole-grain bread to your desired crispiness.

Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado onto each slice of toast.

Place the soft-boiled egg halves on top of the avocado.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with paprika or red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.

Top with chopped chives and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds or sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Avocado Toast

Choose a ripe avocado: A ripe avocado should give slightly to gentle pressure. This will ensure it’s creamy and easy to mash.

Control the egg texture: Adjust the boiling time for the eggs based on your preference. For a runnier yolk, cook for around 5-6 minutes; for a firmer yolk, try 8 minutes.

Add extra toppings: Customize your avocado toast with toppings like feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, arugula, or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
