  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving (2 slices of toast)

Ingredients

Avocado Toast Base

  • ½ small avocado, seeded and peeled
  • 2 slices bread of choice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (optional, for frying or scrambling)
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar (for poached eggs)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices in a toaster until they are golden brown and crispy. This provides a crunchy base for your avocado and eggs.
  2. Prepare Avocado: Slice and mash the peeled avocado onto the toasted bread. Season with salt and pepper to enhance its natural creaminess.
  3. Fried Eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Crack the egg into the skillet, then immediately reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes until whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.
  4. Scrambled Eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk eggs in a bowl, pour into the pan, and gently fold the eggs as they cook, about 2-3 minutes, until cooked through but still soft.
  5. Boiled Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then lower heat and simmer: 4 minutes for soft, 6 minutes for medium, 12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Transfer to ice water to cool before peeling.
  6. Poached Eggs: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add vinegar and stir to create a vortex. Lower heat to maintain a gentle boil, then carefully slide in a cracked egg. Poach for 3-4 minutes depending on desired firmness, then remove with a slotted spoon.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Top the mashed avocado toast with your choice of prepared eggs. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired, and enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For best taste and texture, serve avocado toast immediately after assembling.
  • To store leftover avocado, place it in an airtight container or a plastic bag with a splash of lime or lemon juice to prevent browning; refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
  • Adjust cooking times for eggs based on your preferred degree of doneness.
  • Use whole grain, sourdough, or gluten-free bread to customize the toast according to dietary preferences.
