Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Base
- 4 slices of hearty bread (such as sourdough or multigrain)
Eggs
- 2 eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached)
Toppings
- 1 avocado (sliced or mashed)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as basil, parsley, or chives)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they reach your desired level of crispness, providing a sturdy and crunchy base for the toppings.
- Prepare the Eggs: While the bread is toasting, cook the eggs according to your preference — fried, scrambled, or poached — ensuring they are hot and ready to place on the toasts.
- Assemble Base Layer: Spread a generous layer of mashed or neatly sliced avocado over each toasted bread slice. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor of the avocado.
- Add Tomato and Cheese: Scatter halved cherry tomatoes evenly across the toasts, then sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese on top to add creaminess and a tangy contrast.
- Top with Eggs: Place the cooked eggs on top of each toast, making sure they are warm and well distributed.
- Finish with Olive Oil and Seasoning: Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the toasts for richness, then sprinkle red pepper flakes if you want a little heat.
- Garnish and Serve: Finally, garnish with fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or chives for a burst of freshness and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Customize your toasts by adding smoked salmon, sautéed spinach, hummus, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the cheese or substitute it with a plant-based cheese alternative.
- Use ripe avocado for easier mashing and better flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning and red pepper flakes to suit your taste preferences.
- Serve promptly to ensure the toast remains crisp.
