Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread (about 240 g)
- 2 ripe avocados (about 400 g)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil
- Black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are crisp and golden. This will give you a solid base for your toppings.
-
Prepare the Avocado: In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados with lemon juice, black pepper, and a pinch of salt until creamy. The lemon juice helps keep the avocado bright and adds a zesty flavor.
-
Cook the Eggs: Heat a bit of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook them to your liking—sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled all work well. Aim for a runny yolk for that delicious creaminess.
-
Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture on each slice of toasted bread. Top with your cooked eggs and the halved cherry tomatoes.
-
Finish Up: Drizzle a little olive oil over the top, and if you like, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Recipe Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some red pepper flakes into the avocado or sprinkling them on top of the finished toast.
- Make sure your eggs are fresh; this will ensure they cook beautifully and taste delicious.
- Don’t rush the toasting process; a nice crisp bread will help hold up the toppings and prevent sogginess.
