Egg and Avocado Toast

Ingredients

• large eggs 2 pieces
• whole wheat bread 1 slice
• avocado 1/4 fruit
• olive oil 1 teaspoon
• salt to taste
• black pepper to taste

Method

1. Prepare the avocado. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out one quarter of the avocado flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches a creamy but slightly chunky texture. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
   Tip: Use a ripe avocado for easy mashing and better flavor. A ripe avocado yields slightly when gently pressed.
2. Toast the bread. Place the slice of whole wheat bread in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat. Toast it until it is golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
   Tip: If using a skillet, you can brush the bread lightly with olive oil before toasting for extra flavor.
3. Cook the eggs. Heat the teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Crack the two eggs into the pan. Cook the eggs sunny side up or over easy, depending on your preference, until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking, about 3-4 minutes.
   Tip: To cook over easy, gently flip the eggs after the whites are set and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
4. Assemble the toast. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado spread. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
   Tip: Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm eggs and creamy avocado on crisp toast.

Pro tips

• Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor.
• Cook eggs gently on medium heat to avoid crispy edges and rubbery whites.
