Instructions
Toast the bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and toast the sourdough bread until golden and crispy on both sides. Set aside.
Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Spread the avocado: Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread.
Cook the egg: In the same skillet, heat a little more olive oil over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness (sunny-side-up or over-easy).
Assemble: Place the cooked egg on top of the avocado toast.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using) and fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately.
Chef's Tips
- Bread Choice: Use thick-cut sourdough or whole-grain bread for the best texture and flavor.
- Avocado Ripeness: Make sure the avocado is ripe but not overly soft for the best consistency.
- Egg Variations: Try poached or scrambled eggs for a different twist.
- Extra Toppings: Add sliced tomatoes, microgreens, or feta cheese for extra flavor and texture.
- Spice It Up: A dash of hot sauce or a squeeze of lime juice can add a nice kick.
