Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 large egg
- ½ apple, thinly sliced
- 1–2 slices whole-grain bread
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Honey, optional
- Red pepper flakes or cayenne, optional
- Chopped chives, cilantro, or parsley, optional
- Sesame seeds or everything-bagel seasoning, optional
Instructions
- Wash and thinly slice the apple. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- Toast the whole-grain bread in a toaster or skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp.
- Mash the avocado with a fork. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Cook the egg according to your preference: scramble, poach, or fry. For a poached egg, simmer gently for about 3–4 minutes until the white is set and the yolk remains runny.
- Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread.
- Place the cooked egg over the avocado.
- Arrange the thin apple slices over the egg. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Drizzle lightly with honey if desired.
- Finish with red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, sesame seeds, or everything-bagel seasoning if desired.
- Serve immediately while the toast is warm.
Notes
- Whole-grain or sourdough bread works best because it provides a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith apples all work well. Slice the apple thinly for easier layering.
- Choose a ripe avocado for the smoothest texture.
- For a runny poached egg, cook for approximately 3–4 minutes.
- Add smoked salmon for extra protein, or substitute the egg with marinated grilled tofu.
- Feta or goat cheese can be added for extra flavor.
- Refrigerate unused avocado and apple separately; assembled toast is best eaten immediately.
