Ingredients
Scale
- 1 slice whole grain bread (or low-calorie bread for an even lighter option)
- 1/2 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 large egg, poached or scrambled
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp feta cheese or cottage cheese (optional for extra protein)
Instructions
Toast the Bread:
- Toast the whole grain bread slice until crispy and golden brown.
Prepare the Avocado:
- In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with a fork. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
Cook the Egg:
- While the bread is toasting, cook the egg to your liking. Poaching or scrambling works best for this recipe, but you can also fry it lightly in a non-stick pan.
Assemble the Toast:
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slice. Top with the cooked egg.
Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the toast with chili flakes, chopped cilantro, and feta cheese or cottage cheese (if using). Serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute the egg with egg whites for a lower calorie option while keeping the protein high.
- If you want a bit more crunch, add a sprinkle of sunflower or pumpkin seeds on top of the avocado.
- For a dairy-free version, skip the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
