Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Toast the two slices of bread until golden brown.
- While the bread toasts, heat the olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the two eggs into the skillet. Cook them to your preference, such as sunny-side up or over easy. Season the eggs with salt and pepper while they cook.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. If you like heat, add the red pepper flakes now. This creates your smashed avocado spread.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over both slices of toasted bread.
- Carefully place one cooked egg on top of each slice of bread.
- Assemble the sandwich by placing the two halves together, or serve open-faced for an easy avocado toast presentation.
Notes
- For a high protein egg sandwich hack, use two egg whites instead of one whole egg.
- Use sourdough or multigrain bread for the best texture to support the filling.
- To improve flavor pairings, add a thin slice of tomato or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
