Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 2 large eggs
Avocado Spread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bread
- 2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (optional for toasting)
Garnish
- Red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil and gently lower in the eggs. Boil for 10 minutes to achieve hard-boiled eggs. Once cooked, transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath to cool completely, which makes peeling easier.
- Peel the Eggs: Once cooled, gently peel the eggs, removing all shells and setting the eggs aside for grating.
- Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of whole grain or sourdough bread until they are golden brown and crisp. Optionally, brush with olive oil or butter before or after toasting for added richness.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until you get a creamy consistency that’s perfect for spreading.
- Assemble the Toast: Evenly spread the mashed avocado mixture over each slice of toasted bread to create a creamy base layer.
- Grate the Eggs: Using a fine grater or microplane, grate the peeled hard-boiled eggs directly over the avocado-covered toast to create a fluffy, delicate layer of egg.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning over the grated eggs for added flavor and a touch of heat. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, balanced flavors.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle a little olive oil over the grated eggs before serving.
- Top with a few slices of cherry tomato for added freshness and color.
- Use soft-boiled eggs if you prefer a creamier, less firm egg texture.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste; a pinch of smoked paprika can add a nice smoky profile.
