Equipment
- Nonstick skillet
- Toaster
- Mixing bowl
- Fork or whisk
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes or everything bagel seasoning (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (to keep avocado fresh)
- 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (berries, melon, or citrus segments)
- Drizzle of honey (optional, for the fruit)
Instructions
- Prepare the toast: Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp. Set aside on serving plates.
- Make the avocado spread: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork, add lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the eggs, and gently stir with a spatula until just set and creamy.
- Assemble: Spread the mashed avocado over each toast slice, then top with the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle chili flakes or seasoning if desired.
- Serve: Add a colorful side of fresh fruit and drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly to pressure — it should be creamy but not mushy.
- Keep the scrambled eggs soft and silky by cooking them slowly over low heat.
- You can add sliced tomatoes, arugula, or smoked salmon for extra flavor.
Storage Options
This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate leftover scrambled eggs in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Reheat gently over low heat. Avocado mash can be stored for up to 4 hours if tightly covered with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
Tips for Success
- Always season your avocado mash well — salt enhances its buttery flavor.
- Use high-quality bread; sourdough or multigrain offers the best texture and flavor.
- Top with microgreens, feta, or pumpkin seeds for extra color and crunch.
Additional Tips and Variations
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sriracha over the eggs.
- Make it vegan by replacing eggs with scrambled tofu and butter with olive oil.
- Serve on gluten-free bread for a gluten-free version of this recipe.
