Avocado Toast and Egg is a simple, delicious, nutritious and filling breakfast that is ready in minutes using only a few ingredients!
- ½ ripe avocado
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tiny pinch red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 slice whole grain bread toasted
- 1 large egg fried to desired doneness
-
Cut a ripe avocado in half; remove the pit. You need HALF an avocado for 1 serving. Scoop avocado into a bowl, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. Use a fork to mash it until it's fairly smooth. Avocado mixture is at its best when used within 3-4 minutes after mashing. TIP: If avocado needs to sit more than 10 minutes before using, stir in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Spray a skillet with non-stick spray or melt ½ tsp. of butter on medium heat. Crack egg into the hot skillet and fry it, until it reaches your preferred "doneness". If desired, season egg lightly with salt/pepper. For this recipe I don't flip the egg but cook it for 1-2 minutes until the egg white is set, then I put a see-through lid on the skillet and continue cooking until egg is at my preferred "doneness".
-
While egg cooks, pop bread in the toaster. Cook until crispy/browned. Try to time the toast to be done about the same time the egg is done!
-
To serve-Place toast on plate. Generously spread avocado mixture on top to cover. Use a spatula to transfer the fried egg on top of the avocado toast. If you make your egg "over medium" or "over easy", pierce the yolk with a fork; let the egg yolk spread. Use a fork to cut up and eat the avocado toast and egg. Enjoy!
