Avocado Toast With Fried Egg Recipe

Step 1: Toast the Bread

Begin by toasting two slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread until they are golden brown and crunchy to your liking.

Step 2: Prepare the Avocado

While the bread is toasting, cut a ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until you reach the desired consistency. Optionally, add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.

Step 3: Fry the Egg

Heat a small amount of oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack an egg into the skillet and fry until the edges are crispy and the yolk reaches your preferred level of doneness. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes for a sunny-side-up egg.

Step 4: Assemble the Avocado Toast

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices. Place the fried egg on top of the avocado.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Serve

Optionally, garnish with red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, or sliced tomatoes. Serve immediately and enjoy your avocado toast with fried egg.
