Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

1 slice whole-grain or brown bread (no added sugar)

½ ripe avocado

1 egg (poached, boiled, or fried in a little oil)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: chili flakes or paprika

Optional: a few drops of lemon juice

Instructions

Toast the bread until golden and crisp to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.

While the bread is toasting, prepare the egg to your preferred style: poached, boiled, or fried in minimal oil.

Scoop out the avocado into a small bowl and mash with a fork until smooth, leaving some texture if desired.

Add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a few drops of lemon juice to the mashed avocado, mixing gently.

Spread the avocado evenly over the toasted bread slice.

Place the cooked egg on top of the avocado layer carefully to keep it intact.

Sprinkle additional salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes or paprika over the top for flavor.

Press lightly to combine the avocado with the egg if desired.

Serve immediately while the toast is warm and the egg is at its preferred doneness.

Pair with fresh vegetables, a cup of herbal tea, or a smoothie for a complete sugar-free meal.

Tips

Choose ripe but firm avocado for easy mashing and creamy texture.

Toast bread just enough to hold toppings without becoming soggy.

For poached eggs, add a splash of vinegar to the water to help the egg whites hold their shape.

Mash avocado gently to avoid overly watery texture.

Use minimal oil if frying the egg to keep it healthy.

Lemon juice brightens the avocado and prevents browning.

Season avocado generously; it can taste bland otherwise.

Serve immediately; avocado may oxidize and turn slightly brown if left too long.

Choose whole-grain bread without added sugar for a healthier option.

Use a knife or small spatula to spread avocado evenly without tearing the toast.

Variations

Add sliced tomato on top for extra freshness and acidity.

Sprinkle sesame seeds or sunflower seeds for crunch.

Include spinach or arugula under the avocado for a nutrient boost.

Use smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.

Add a few slices of radish for crispness and mild peppery taste.

Swap the egg with tofu scramble for a vegan alternative.

Mix in finely chopped herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives into the avocado.

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top for richness.

Add a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese for creaminess and flavor depth.

Make a spicy version with finely chopped jalapeños or hot sauce.
