Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sourdough bread (or your preferred bread)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for frying)
- ½ teaspoon everything bagel seasoning (optional)
- Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional, for garnish)
- Microgreens or fresh herbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
- Toast the sourdough slices until golden and crispy using a toaster or dry pan over medium heat for extra crunch.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado Mash
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork.
- Mix in lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Step 3: Fry the Eggs
- Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Toast

- Place a fried egg on top of each slice.
- Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, fresh herbs, and cherry tomatoes if using.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Notes
- Use fresh, ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
- Cook eggs to your preference: Try scrambled, poached, or even hard-boiled if you don’t like runny yolks.
- Upgrade with toppings: Add feta cheese, crispy bacon, or smoked salmon for extra flavor.
- Make it heartier: Add a second layer of toppings like arugula or grilled mushrooms.
