Ingredients
Bread and Avocado
- 2 slices bread (sourdough, whole grain, or multigrain)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Eggs and Seasoning
- 2 eggs
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp to provide a sturdy base with a satisfying crunch.
- Mash the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy.
- Spread avocado on toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture over the toasted bread slices to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Prepare the skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Shape and cook the eggs: Crack eggs into a heart-shaped silicone mold placed in the skillet, or gently shape them using the mold. Cook until the egg whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.
- Assemble the toast: Carefully place the heart-shaped eggs on top of the avocado-covered toast slices.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or additional seasonings if desired, then serve the avocado toast immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Silicone heart molds are ideal for shaping eggs neatly and safely.
- For poached heart-shaped eggs, place a cookie cutter in simmering water to shape.
- Try adding toppings like cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, or microgreens to enhance flavor and texture.
- Choose ripe but firm avocados for the best creamy texture without being too mushy.
