Ingredients
- 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon chili flakes optional for heat
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter for frying
- Optional garnish: microgreens cherry tomatoes, or sesame seeds
Instructions
Preparation:
- Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy, about 3–5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado until smooth but slightly chunky. Mix in lime juice, smoked paprika, chili flakes, and a pinch of sea salt.
Cooking Steps:
- Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack eggs gently into the skillet and cook sunny-side-up for 2–4 minutes until the whites are set, and the yolks remain runny. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Carefully place one fried egg on top of each slice.
- Garnish with microgreens, halved cherry tomatoes, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil over the avocado spread before adding the egg.
- Add crumbled feta or goat cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
- Adjust the chili flakes to your spice preference or omit them entirely for a milder flavor.
