Ingredients
Avocado Spread
- 1 avocado, peeled and seeded
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toast & Toppings
- 2 slices whole grain bread (or bread of choice)
- 2 eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached, optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast 2 slices of whole grain bread in a toaster until they are golden brown and crispy to provide a satisfying crunch base for the avocado topping.
- Prepare the Avocado Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the peeled and seeded avocado with chopped cilantro, lime juice, and optional red pepper flakes. Mash the mixture thoroughly using a fork until creamy yet slightly chunky. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread half of the avocado mixture evenly on each slice of toasted bread, ensuring a generous layer on both.
- Add Eggs (Optional): If desired, top each slice with a fried, scrambled, or poached egg to boost protein content and make the meal more filling.
Notes
- You can substitute whole grain bread with gluten-free or sourdough bread based on preference.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to your spice tolerance or omit for a milder flavor.
- Eggs are optional but add extra protein and richness to the dish.
- For vegan option, omit eggs completely.
- Fresh lime juice brightens the flavors; avoid bottled lime juice for best taste.
- This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the crisp toast texture.
