Avocado Toast with a Jammy Egg

Ingredients

• 2 Eggs (large)
• 1 Avocado (ripe)
• 2 slices Bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)
• 1 tsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• Red pepper flakes (to taste)
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water using a slotted spoon.

2. 2

   Boil the eggs for exactly 6 and a half to 7 minutes for a jammy yolk. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

3. 3

   While the eggs cool, toast the bread slices until golden and crisp.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until it reaches your desired consistency.

5. 5

   Spread the smashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.

6. 6

   Gently peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half. Place one egg (two halves) onto each slice of toast.

7. 7

   Garnish with red pepper flakes and an extra pinch of salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the best results, use a high-quality sourdough bread. If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook the eggs for 8-9 minutes.
