Avocado Toast with Egg Recipe

Bread: Choose whole grain or your preferred type of bread for a nutritious base.

Avocado: A ripe avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats to the toast.

Eggs: Large eggs provide protein and richness to the dish.

Olive oil: Used for frying the eggs, adding a subtle flavor.

Salt: Enhances the overall taste of the dish.

Pepper: Adds a touch of heat and depth to the flavor.

To achieve perfectly runny yolks, make sure to cook the eggs on medium heat and avoid flipping them. If the whites are cooking too quickly, reduce the heat slightly. For an extra creamy avocado spread, add a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt while mashing. This not only enhances the flavor but also prevents the avocado from browning too quickly.

• To keep your avocado toast fresh, store the bread and avocado separately. Toasted bread can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• For the avocado mixture, place it in an airtight container and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
• If you have leftover eggs, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 2 days, but note that the texture may change upon reheating.
• To reheat the bread, place it in a toaster or toaster oven until warm and crispy.
• For the avocado mixture, give it a good stir before spreading it on the toast.
• Reheat the eggs gently in a microwave on low power for about 20-30 seconds, or until just warmed through. Be careful not to overcook the yolks.
• If you want to freeze the avocado mixture, mash it with a bit of lemon juice or lime juice to prevent browning. Place it in a freezer-safe container, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Freeze for up to 1 month.
• To thaw frozen avocado, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. Stir well before using.
• It is not recommended to freeze the eggs or bread as their texture can be significantly altered.

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the avocado toast on a baking sheet and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Heat for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. This method helps maintain the texture of the bread and the egg.

• If you're in a hurry, use a microwave. Place the avocado toast on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a damp paper towel. Microwave on medium power for 30-45 seconds. Be cautious, as the egg yolk might cook further.

• For a crispier option, use a toaster oven. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and place the avocado toast inside for about 5-7 minutes. This method helps keep the bread crunchy while warming the avocado and egg.

• If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 320°F (160°C). Place the avocado toast in the basket and heat for 3-4 minutes. This method ensures a crispy bread and evenly warmed egg and avocado.

• For stovetop reheating, heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Place the avocado toast in the skillet and cover it with a lid. Heat for about 5 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure it doesn't burn. This method helps maintain the egg's texture while warming the bread and avocado.

• Toaster: Used to toast the bread slices until they are golden brown.

• Frying pan: Used to cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

• Spatula: Used to handle and flip the eggs in the frying pan.

• Knife: Used to cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.

• Spoon: Used to scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl.

• Fork: Used to mash the avocado until smooth.

• Bowl: Used to hold and mash the avocado.

• Measuring spoon: Used to measure the olive oil.

• Plate: Used to serve the avocado toast with egg.

Prepare ingredients in advance: Mash the avocado and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. This saves time when assembling the toast.

Use a toaster oven: Toast your bread slices while cooking the eggs simultaneously. This multitasking cuts down on preparation time.

Preheat the pan: Heat the olive oil in the pan before you start toasting the bread. This ensures the eggs cook quickly.

Batch cooking: Cook multiple eggs at once if making more than one serving. This reduces the overall cooking time.
