Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 slices whole-grain bread slices
• 2 large eggs
• 6 cherry tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 4 basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

Step 1

Toast the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden and crispy, either using a toaster or under a broiler.

Step 2

While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado using a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.

Step 3

Add the fresh lemon juice, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the mashed avocado, and mix well.

Step 4

In a small skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side-up or over-easy are popular options).

Step 5

In a separate dry skillet over medium heat, add the cherry tomatoes (cut in half, if desired) and a light sprinkle of salt. Toss them for about 2 minutes until they are slightly blistered and warmed through. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Spread an even layer of the avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.

Step 7

Place one cooked egg on top of each avocado-covered toast.

Step 8

Distribute the blistered cherry tomatoes evenly over the top of each toast.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes on each toast for added flavor.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh basil leaves. If desired, add a small pat of butter on top of the eggs for extra richness.
