Instructions
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Spread
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- Mash the avocado using a fork until it reaches your desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky.
- Add fresh lemon or lime juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
- Mix in salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
Step 2: Make the Perfect Scrambled Eggs
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined. Add a splash of milk or cream for extra creaminess.
- Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium-low heat and add butter or olive oil.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and let them sit for a few seconds before stirring.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a slow, folding motion to create soft curds.
- Remove the eggs from heat while they are slightly undercooked, as residual heat will continue cooking them.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh chives.
Step 3: Assemble the Avocado Toast
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toast.
- Top with the freshly scrambled eggs.
- Garnish with your choice of toppings, such as cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, or smoked salmon.
Notes
Cooking Note
• Use low to medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
• If using whole wheat or gluten-free bread, ensure it’s toasted well to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.
• Always add lemon or lime juice to the mashed avocado to keep it vibrant and fresh.
