Ingredient Notes
Here is a brief overview of the ingredients you’ll need to make the toast:
- Olive Oil: In this recipe, olive oil is used to coat the pan and keep the egg from sticking.
- Red or Yellow Bell Pepper: The bell pepper slice makes for a nicer presentation and also adds some fresh flavor to the dish.
- Egg: The runny egg adds protein, keeping you satisfied longer.
- Ripe Avocado: The smooth and creamy avocado is a great source of healthy fats and fiber.
- Lemon Juice: The freshly squeezed lemon juice keeps the avocado from browning. You can also use lime juice instead.
- Slice of Toasted Bread: Use multi-grain, whole-grain, sprouted grain, or rye bread. Choose bread that is firm enough to hold the egg.
- Salt: A pinch of flaky sea salt adds the finishing touch to the avocado toast and enhances the flavors.
- Chopped Parsley: This nutrient-dense herb enhances all of the flavors, adds a pop of color, and gives a boost of vitamins and minerals.
How To Make Fried Egg Avocado Toast
Here are the step-by-step instructions:
- In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Place the bell pepper ring on the pan. Carefully break the egg directly into the bell pepper ring.
- In the meantime, toast the bread and make the avocado mash. Simply scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork. Sprinkle with lemon juice and spread on the toast.
- Once the egg is set within the bell pepper ring, carefully place it on the avocado toast. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and season with sea salt.
Recipe Tips
Here are a few tips to help you make the best avocado toast:
- Select large, firm bell peppers. You want the slice of bell pepper to be roomy enough to hold the whole egg.
- Choose ripe avocados. A good one has dark green (almost black) skin and is ripe enough to squeeze gently without bruising.
- Use thick slices of high-quality multigrain bread. A sturdy toasted bread with creamy avocado is texture paradise.
- Don’t overcook the egg. An ooey-gooey fried egg on avocado toast is THE BEST.
Avocado Toast Variations
Here are a few ways to customize this recipe:
- Switch up the egg and top the avocado toast with poached, scrambled, or sliced hard-boiled egg.
- Add something extra. Top the toast with pickled red onions, sliced tomato, radish slices, arugula, or feta cheese.
- Add fresh herbs such as fresh basil, dill, green onions, or chives.
- Add seasonings such as red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning.
- Add shredded cheese to the egg so it melts while the egg is cooking.
- Meat-lovers can top it with something meaty like chorizo or bacon.
