Make this healthy, light breakfast with your choice of toast and eggs prepared one of four ways. It's quick and easy and packed with protein.
Toast:
1 slice bread of choice
1/4 avocado, seeded and peeled
sea salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fried Egg:
1/2 T. butter
1 large egg
Scrambled Eggs:
1/2 T. butter
2 eggs
Boiled Eggs:
2 eggs
Poached Egg:
2 t. white vinegar
1 large egg
Toast the bread until golden; place the quartered avocado on the toast; slice and mash it on top of the toast. Top with eggs of choice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Fried Egg: Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Break the egg on the skillet; reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered until whites are completely set and yolks are thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Scrambled Eggs: Heat butter in non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Whisk eggs in a small bowl; pour in the center of the skillet. When the edges start to set, start to gently fold the eggs until the eggs are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
Boiled Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan. Pour cool water over the eggs until fully submerged. Bring water to a rolling boil; reduce heat to low; cook according to the desired doneness: 4 minutes for soft; 6 minutes for medium; 12 minutes for hard boiled. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Transfer cooked eggs to the ice water to cool completely before peeling.
Poached Egg: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Crack egg into a small bowl. Stir vinegar into the water and create a vortex with the boiling water. Reduce heat so the water creates a rolling boil at the bottom of the pot. Carefully add the egg to the middle of the pot; cook for 3-4 minutes, according to desired doneness. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon.
Serve the avocado toast immediately after preparing.
1 serving.
Tip: To store the unused avocado, place in an airtight container or plastic bag with a bit of lime or lemon juice in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
