Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins Total Time: 25 mins Yield: 2 servings

An elevated avocado toast with creamy avocado spread, a perfectly fried egg, and luxurious toppings like microgreens and everything bagel seasoning. The balance of creamy, tangy, and savory flavors makes it a gourmet brunch delight.

Ingredients

• 2 slices of sourdough bread
• 1 ripe avocado
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 large eggs (for frying)
• ¼ cup microgreens (I used rainbow microgreens)
• 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
• Cilantro leaves for garnish
• Chopped chives for garnish
• 1 tablespoon truffle oil (optional)
• Chili flakes or a dash of hot honey (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the avocado spread: In a bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky. Add lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
2. Toast the bread: Lightly toast the sourdough slices until golden brown and crisp. Optional: Toast the bread in a skillet with a little butter for extra flavor.
3. Fry the eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
4. Assemble: Spread the avocado mixture generously on each slice of toasted bread. Top each with a fried egg. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning. Add microgreens, cilantro, and chives. Add chili flakes or hot honey if desired.

Notes

• Taste the avocado spread and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• For best flavor, leave the avocado spread in the fridge overnight to let the flavors meld together.
• Original recipe calls for poached eggs, but fried eggs work well for a crispy texture.
