Ingredients

• 2 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika or red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)
• 1 tablespoon chives, chopped (or green onions)
• 1 teaspoon sunflower seeds or sesame seeds for garnish

Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Mash

1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Step 2: Soft-Boil the Eggs

1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
2. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water with a spoon.
3. Cook for 6-7 minutes for a perfectly soft yolk (adjust cooking time slightly for firmer yolks).
4. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
5. After 1 minute, peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half.

Step 3: Assemble the Toast

1. Toast the whole-grain bread to your desired level of crispiness.
2. Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado onto each slice of toast.
3. Place the soft-boiled egg halves on top of the avocado.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

1. Sprinkle with paprika or red pepper flakes for a touch of spice (optional).
2. Top with chopped chives and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds or sesame seeds for extra texture and flavor.
3. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Avocado Toast

• Choose a ripe avocado: It should yield slightly to gentle pressure to ensure it’s creamy and easy to mash.
• Control the egg texture: For a runnier yolk, cook for 5-6 minutes; for a firmer yolk, cook for 8 minutes.
• Add extra toppings: Customize with feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, arugula, or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor.
