Servings: 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 slice of sourdough bread (or your favorite bread)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Chili flakes (optional)
- Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, gently lower in the egg and set a timer for 6.5 to 7 minutes for a jammy yolk.
- While the egg cooks, toast your bread until golden brown.
- Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it gently with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
- When the egg timer goes off, transfer the egg to a bowl of cold water. Let it sit for a minute or two, then carefully peel.
- Spread the mashed avocado on your toast. Slice the egg in half and place on top of the avocado.
- Sprinkle with extra salt, pepper, chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil if you’re feeling fancy.
- Enjoy immediately while the egg is still warm!
