- 1 slice Whole Wheat Bread
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 ripe Avocado
- 1 Egg
- 0.5 tbsp Chili Flakes
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 Toast the Bread
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil over one side of the bread and toast until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- 2 Poach the Egg
In a small saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer and add a teaspoon of vinegar. Crack the egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon.
- 3 Prepare the Avocado Spread
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and half of the chili flakes.
- 4 Assemble the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread. Gently place the poached egg on top of the avocado toast. Sprinkle with the remaining chili flakes for an extra kick.
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of lemon juice to the mashed avocado.
- You can use any type of bread, but whole wheat gives a hearty texture and flavor.
- To make this dish vegan, replace the poached egg with a scrambled tofu mixture.
