Main Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough or whole-grain bread

Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crisp to provide a crunchy base for your toppings.
- Prepare the avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until creamy but still slightly chunky for texture.
- Cook the eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the eggs your preferred way—fried, scrambled, or poached—to get the perfect doneness.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices, creating a smooth, flavorful layer.
- Add the eggs: Place one cooked egg atop each slice of avocado-covered toast, adding a rich source of protein.
- Finish with toppings: Garnish with your choice of optional toppings such as red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your Egg and Avocado Toast warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Toast bread slices just before assembling to keep them crispy.
- Customize your eggs by frying, scrambling, poaching, or boiling based on your preference.
- Optional toppings like smoked salmon, crispy bacon, or fresh greens can add variety and nutrition.
- Assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- Store leftover mashed avocado with lemon juice in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
