This is how I like to start the day. A simple piece of toast topped with creamy avocado, fresh herbs, and a sunny-side-up egg. Egg and avocado toast is a great way to start the day!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 slice bread
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 small avocado
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon chopped dill
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 pinches of salt divided
  • 2 pinches of black pepper, divided

Instructions

  1. Pop the toast in the toaster. While the bread toasts cook the egg by first melting the butter over low heat in a small (8-inch) non-stick skillet. Once the butter is melted, crack the egg into the skillet and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook the egg until the white is opaque and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. While the egg cooks, prep the avocado. Slice the avocado in half by inserting your knife into it until you reach the pit. Run your knife around the avocado and then twist the avocado to break it in half. Remove the pit (the safest way is to run a spoon around it to loosen it). Slice the avocado, while it’s still in its skin, into thin slices. Use a spoon to scoop out the slices and place them on the toast. (see note)
  3. Spread the avocado slices on the toast. Sprinkle the parsley, dill, red pepper flakes, 1 pinch of salt and 1 pinch of pepper over the top. Top the avocado with the cooked egg and season it with another pinch of salt and pepper.

Notes

For the other half of the avocado – wrap it in plastic wrap, and it will keep it in the fridge for up to a day.

Nutrition estimates may vary depending on the kind of bread you use. I used one slice of whole-grain bread, which is included in the estimates.
