Ingredients
Scale
For the Avocado Toast
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Red pepper flakes, optional
- Olive oil, for drizzling, optional
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower in the eggs using a spoon and boil for 6 to 7 minutes to achieve soft-boiled yolks. After boiling, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath and let them sit for 2 to 3 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Toast the Bread: While the eggs are boiling, toast the bread slices to your preferred level of crispness using a toaster or skillet.
- Mash the Avocado: In a bowl, mash the ripe avocado with fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until creamy and smooth.
- Assemble the Toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture on each slice of toast. Peel the soft-boiled eggs, slice them in half, and arrange on top of the avocado layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the eggs and add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Optionally, drizzle a little olive oil over the toast for added richness.
- Serve: Serve the avocado toast with soft-boiled eggs immediately while warm to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.
Notes
- Customize your toast by adding crumbled feta cheese, everything bagel seasoning, or fresh microgreens for extra flavor.
- Make the meal heartier by adding smoked salmon slices or turkey breast for added protein.
- Use different types of bread such as rye or multigrain for variety.
- Adjust the soft-boiling time slightly if you prefer runnier or firmer yolks.
