Cooking Instructions for making Avocado & Egg on Toast
Notes on INGREDIENT VARIATIONS:
1. Add your preferred fresh herbs.
2. You can also have some chopped tomatoes and finely diced red onion.
3. Add protein of your choice.
Gather all ingredients. Slice open avocado, dice and place in a bowl. Add seasonings, a tsp of lemon and flavored salt & pepper to taste.
Toast the bread using the lowest setting so you have enough time to cook the egg. By the time the egg is ready, the bread is well toasted.
In a small saucepan, over medium low heat, add a splash of oil (maybe a tsp). Before oil is fully heated. Crack the egg onto the saucepan. Turn the heat to the lowest. When the egg is lightly white at the edge, but still mostly translucent, add a splash of water around the egg, not much, maybe a tsp or two. Cover the saucepan.
Check after a minute or two. If the white is all set, turn off the heat. The yolk is runny at this stage. You can serve it right away if you like runny yolk. We like ours slightly set, so, after the heat is off, we keep the pan covered for another minute or two.
To assemble, spread a thin layer of salted butter on the toasted bread. Spread avocado. Then top with egg. Sprinkle some sea salt flakes and freshly ground black peppercorns.
