Ingredients
Scale
For the Avocado Toast
- 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
- Fresh dill, chopped
For the Soft-Boiled Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- Water for boiling
- Salt, to taste
Optional Garnish
- Cherry tomatoes, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the Soft-Boiled Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Lower the Eggs into the Water: Once boiling, gently lower the eggs into the water using a spoon to avoid cracking.
- Simmer for Soft Yolks: Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the eggs for 6-7 minutes to achieve a soft, runny yolk consistency.
- Cool the Eggs: After cooking, transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Peel the Eggs: Once cool enough to handle, peel the eggs carefully to keep their shape intact.
- Toast the Bread: While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of bread until they are golden and crispy.
- Make the Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky, then season with salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice and red pepper flakes for added flavor.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Add the Eggs: Carefully slice the soft-boiled eggs in half and place them on top of the avocado spread.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh dill over the eggs and toast for a herby accent. Optionally, add sliced cherry tomatoes for extra freshness and color.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy avocado and perfectly soft eggs at their best.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture.
- Adjust cooking time to your preference for egg yolk consistency.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Cherry tomatoes add freshness and a pop of color but are optional.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the toast crisp and eggs warm.
