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