Ingredients
Method
- Toast: Toast your bread until golden and crisp.
- Mash: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with salt and a drop of olive oil.
- Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the egg to your liking (sunny-side up is recommended).
- Spread: Apply the avocado mash generously to the toast.
- Top: Place the egg on top, season with pepper and chili flakes, and serve immediately.
Notes
- The Bread: Use a thick-cut, sturdy base. Sourdough or a Rustic Peasant Bread Recipe holds the weight of the avocado and egg better than standard white bread.
- Perfect Avocado: Choose one that feels like the tip of your noseāfirm but gives slightly. Add a squeeze of lemon to the mash to prevent it from turning brown.
- Egg Mastery: For a classic Mediterranean look, fry the egg in extra virgin olive oil over medium-low heat to get crispy "lace" edges while keeping the yolk runny.
- The "Twist": To make it truly Mediterranean, top with crumbled feta and a pinch of dried oregano.
- Meal Prep: You can mash the avocado up to 24 hours in advance if stored in an airtight container with a layer of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface.
