Avocado and Egg Recipe
Ingredients:
- Avocado: 1 ripe avocado
- Eggs: 2 (you can use more if desired)
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
- Red Pepper Flakes: (optional, for a spicy kick)
- Olive Oil or Butter: for cooking
- Lemon Juice: (optional, for flavor)
- Bread: (optional, for serving)
Instructions:

Prepare the Avocado:
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork. If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
-
Cook the Eggs:
- Poached: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Fried: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and cook to your liking (sunny-side up, over easy, etc.).
-
Toast the Bread (optional):
- If using, toast the bread to your desired level of crispiness.
-
Assemble the Dish:
- Spread the mashed avocado on the toast (if using). Top with the cooked eggs.
-
Season and Serve:
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- You can add toppings like sliced tomatoes, spinach, or feta cheese for extra flavor.
- For a different twist, try adding herbs like cilantro or chives.
