Health Benefits:
Healthy Fats: Avocados are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
High Fiber: Keeps you feeling full for longer.
Nutrient-Dense: Rich in Vitamin K, Vitamin C, and Potassium.
Ingredients:
1 slice of high-quality bread (Sourdough or Whole Grain works best)
1/2 Ripe avocado
1 Large egg (Poached or Fried)
1 tsp Lemon juice (to prevent browning and add zest)
Seasoning: A pinch of sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (Chili flakes).
Optional Toppings: Cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, or sprouts.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Toast Your Bread: Toast your slice of bread until it’s golden brown and sturdy enough to hold the toppings.
2. Mash the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You want it creamy but with a few small chunks for texture.
3. Prepare the Egg: While the bread is toasting, poach or fry your egg to your liking. A runny yolk adds a delicious richness to the toast.
4. Assemble: Spread the avocado mash generously over the toast. Place the egg on top and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and any extra toppings you like.
Kitchen by Mom Pro-Tip:
To pick the perfect avocado, gently squeeze it in the palm of your hand. If it yields to firm, gentle pressure, it’s ripe and ready to eat!
Enjoy your healthy start to the day!
