Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe for Perfect Avocado Toast with Fried Egg & Cherry Tomatoes:
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 eggs
- 8-10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Olive oil (for toasting and frying)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Red pepper flakes, lemon juice, fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Toast:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
- Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes on each side. You can also toast the bread in a toaster if you prefer.
- Prepare the Avocado:
- While the bread is toasting, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice (optional).
- Fry the Eggs:
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil (or butter) and heat over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness—sunny side up, over-easy, or well done. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the Cherry Tomatoes:
- In the same skillet, add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, just until they soften slightly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Toast:
- Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread.
- Top each toast with a fried egg.
- Arrange the sautéed cherry tomatoes on the side of the egg or on top of the avocado.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for extra flavor.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze or hot sauce over the top.
- You can also add a sprinkle of cheese, like feta or goat cheese, for more creaminess.
Enjoy your perfect avocado toast with fried egg and cherry tomatoes—a hearty, healthy, and satisfying meal!
