Avocado & Fried Egg on Toast with Red Pesto
Ingredients
- 1 slice of bread whole grain, sourdough, or your choice
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon red pesto store-bought or homemade
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice optional
- ½ teaspoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes optional, for spice
- Fresh herbs optional, like parsley, chives, or basil
Instructions
- Toast your slice of bread to your preferred crispiness.
- Prepare the Avocado Mash. Scoop out the avocado into a small bowl. Add lemon juice (optional) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until smooth or slightly chunky.
- To fry the egg, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add olive oil or butter. Crack the egg into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny (or cook longer for a firmer yolk). Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread one tablespoon of red pesto evenly over the toasted bread. Add the mashed avocado on top of the pesto and place the fried egg on top.
- Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- Serve & Enjoy!
Notes
Optional Additions:
- Feta cheese or goat cheese for extra creaminess
- Sun-dried tomatoes for more Mediterranean flavor
- Arugula or baby spinach for a fresh touch
- Crushed nuts (like pine nuts or almonds) for added crunch
