Avocado Toast: Choose ripe avocados by gently pressing them for firmness and looking for dark, even coloration. Avoid avocados with soft spots or those that feel overly mushy. Photo by Thought Catalog on Unsplash
Ingredients
- 2 Ripe avocados
- Lemon (for that zesty kick)
- Salt (to taste)
- Hot sauce (optional, but highly encouraged)
- Bread (sourdough for extra fancy points)
- Eggs (however many you desire)
- Paprika (for that extra pizzazz)
Instructions
Make Avocado Spread
- Cut your avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out the creamy green goodness into a bowl.
- Mash up those avocados like you're auditioning for a role in an avocado-themed Broadway musical. Get them nice and smooth.
- Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice to add a pop of brightness to your spread.
- Feeling adventurous? Add a dash of hot sauce for a little extra kick. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
- Season with salt to taste. Don't be shy - avocados love salt like Kanye loves Kanye.
Toast Your Bread
- Slice your bread into thick, hearty slices. We're talking bread that can stand up to the weight of all that avocado goodness.
- Toast your bread into the toaster and toast until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can use a toaster oven or even a regular oven if you're feeling fancy.
Fry Your Eggs
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and crack your eggs into the pan. Cook them sunny-side up, over easy, or however you like - just make sure that yolk is nice and runny.
- While your eggs are cooking, sprinkle a little paprika over the top. It's like the cherry on top of your breakfast masterpiece.
Assemble Your Toast
- Slather that creamy avocado spread onto your perfectly toasted bread. Be generous - this is no time to be stingy with the avocado.
- Carefully place your fried egg on top of the avocado spread. It's like the crown jewel of your breakfast creation.
- Sprinkle a little more paprika on top for good measure. Because let's face it, everything is better with paprika.
- Finish it all off with a final pinch of salt. And there you have it, the ultimate avocado toast.
