Protein-Packed Avocado Toast recipe


  • Author: Charlotte Hamilton
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 slices of whole-grain or high-protein bread
  • 1 egg (or 2 for extra protein)
  • 1 tablespoon of chia seeds (optional, for added protein and texture)
  • 1 tablespoon of hemp seeds (optional, for extra protein)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes or hot sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Lemon juice (a squeeze, optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the slices of bread to your preferred level of crispiness. This step provides a solid base for the creamy avocado and ensures the toast holds up well against the egg.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until it’s mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice enhances the flavor and helps prevent the avocado from browning.
  3. Cook the Egg: While the bread is toasting, prepare the egg. You can choose to fry, poach, or scramble it depending on your preference. For a classic touch, fry the egg sunny side up or over-easy to achieve a runny yolk that complements the creamy avocado.
  4. Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice. If you’re using chia or hemp seeds, sprinkle them on top for added nutrition and a pleasant crunch.
  5. Add the Egg: Place the cooked egg on top of the avocado-covered toast. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or drizzle a little hot sauce over the top.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and the egg is perfectly cooked.
