1 Ingredients

Qty	Item
2 slices 100 g	Sourdough bread, thick-cut
1 large 200 g	Ripe avocado
2 units 100 g	Large eggs
1 tsp 5 ml	Lemon juice, fresh
0.5 tsp 1 g	Red pepper flakes
0.25 tsp 1 g	Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 handful 5 g	Microgreens or fresh cilantro

2 Instructions

Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water using a slotted spoon and cook for exactly 6 minutes and 30 seconds for a jammy yolk. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 3 minutes.

While the eggs cool, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper, then mash with a fork until chunky-smooth.

Toast the sourdough slices in a toaster or on a griddle until golden brown and crisp.

Gently peel the eggs and slice them in half vertically.

Spread a generous layer of the avocado mash onto each slice of toast. Top with the egg halves.

Garnish with red pepper flakes, extra sea salt, and microgreens. Serve immediately.

·
Rub a cut clove of garlic onto the warm toast before adding the avocado for an extra depth of savory flavor.
·
Always use a ripe avocado that gives slightly when pressed; it should feel similar to the firmness of the tip of your nose.
·
An ice bath is crucial for stopping the cooking process and making the eggs significantly easier to peel.
·
Add a drizzle of high-quality extra virgin olive oil or a dash of sriracha for a spicy finishing touch.

? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fried or poached eggs instead?

Absolutely! While jammy eggs are classic, a sunny-side-up fried egg or a poached egg works perfectly with the creamy avocado base.

How do I keep the avocado from turning brown?

The lemon juice in the recipe acts as an antioxidant to slow browning, but avocado toast is best enjoyed immediately after preparation.

What is the best bread for avocado toast?

Thick-cut sourdough or a hearty multigrain bread provides the best structural support for the heavy toppings and adds a nice crunch.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

The toppings are naturally gluten-free; simply swap the sourdough for your favorite gluten-free bread to make the entire meal gluten-free.
