Avocado Toast with Egg

Avocado Toast with Egg

Serves 1

Crispy gluten-free toast topped with creamy seasoned avocado and a freshly cooked egg. This simple breakfast combines protein, fiber, and heart-healthy unsaturated fats for a filling meal that's quick enough for even a busy morning.

Ingredients

  • 1 slice gluten-free bread
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning, optional
  • Fresh chives or parsley, optional

Instructions

  1. Toast the gluten-free bread until golden and crisp.
  2. While the bread is toasting, cook the egg to your preference. A fried or poached egg with a slightly runny yolk works especially well.
  3. Add the avocado to a small bowl with the lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a little texture.
  5. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the warm toast.
  6. Place the cooked egg on top.
  7. Finish with red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning and fresh herbs, if desired.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes & Tips

  • For extra freshness, top with a few sliced cherry tomatoes.
  • For additional protein, use two eggs instead of one.
  • Choose a sturdy gluten-free bread that will hold up to the avocado and egg.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for additional servings.
