  • Author: Amelia
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Avocado Toast:

  • 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread, toasted
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (or lemon juice)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Eggs:

  • 2 large eggs (poached, fried, or scrambled, as preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for cooking eggs, if frying or scrambling)

For the Spicy Chili Butter:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for a silkier texture)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin (optional, for added depth)
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings:

  • Crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
  • Toasted sesame seeds or sunflower seeds
  • Extra red chili flakes for garnish
  • Drizzle of honey (for a sweet-spicy contrast)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Mash

  1. In a small bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocado and mash it with a fork until smooth or chunky, depending on your preference.
  2. Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 2: Cook the Eggs

  1. For Poached Eggs:
    • Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar (optional) to help the egg whites set.
    • Crack an egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
    • Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Repeat with the second egg.
  2. For Fried Eggs:
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
    • Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny (about 2-3 minutes). For sunny-side-up eggs, cook without flipping; for over-easy eggs, flip gently and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. For Scrambled Eggs:
    • Whisk the eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt.
    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until soft and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3: Make the Spicy Chili Butter

  1. In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the olive oil (if using), smoked paprika, red chili flakes, garlic powder, cumin (if using), and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the butter becomes fragrant and slightly bubbly. Be careful not to burn the spices.
  3. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Toast

  1. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
  2. Top each slice with a cooked egg.
  3. Drizzle the spicy chili butter generously over the eggs and avocado toast.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

  1. Add your choice of toppings, such as crumbled feta, chopped cilantro, or sesame seeds, for added flavor and texture.
  2. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, flavorful toast!
