Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 large egg (optional, for protein boost)

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.
  2. While the bread toasts, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  3. Add the lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the avocado.
  4. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it reaches your preferred creamy texture. Mix in red pepper flakes if using.
  5. If adding an egg, cook it to your liking (fried or poached) while the bread is toasting.
  6. Spread the creamy avocado mash evenly over the two slices of toast.
  7. Top with the cooked egg, if desired, and serve immediately for a quick breakfast or healthy snack.

Notes

  • For the creamiest mash, select an avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure.
  • To save time on busy mornings, you can prepare the seasoned avocado mash up to one hour ahead and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Consider adding cottage cheese or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor and protein.
