Avocado & Egg Toasts

I’m becoming a pretty big fan of breakfast for dinner, especially on those nights when my husband is traveling and I’m home alone.  When you have to take care of our dog and two cats on your own before starting dinner it really adds time to your night – and they won’t let you forget it’s dinnertime either.  Single parents – I have no idea how you do it!  So that leads me to the reason I love breakfast for dinner – so many breakfast meals are quick to make.  I love when I can get dinner on the table in 10 minutes or less and have it be homemade and relatively healthy.  My new favorite is avocado and egg toasts.

‘Toasts’ seem to be all the rage in my favorite food magazines and my Pinterest feed and I figured I might as well try my hand at one.  On this particular night, I happened to have avocado and some nice multi-grain bread so I went for a simple egg and avocado toast and added a little sriracha for a little kick.  The best part is the over easy egg that creates a sauce as soon as you crack the yolk.  I loved the creaminess of the avocado and that it adds some good healthy fats – it made the dish really satisfying.

Here’s what you need:

This is an incredibly simple dish.  For example, you start with – a piece of toast.

Spread some mashed avocado that has been seasoned with a little salt onto the toast.  I used a half of an avocado but I had a relatively wide-large loaf of bread.  Add as much or as little as you like.

Now make your fried eggs.  I always used to make basted eggs because I was really hit or miss at flipping eggs until my amazing team bought me a gift card to Sur La Table for Christmas.  As part of my kitchen shopping spree, I bought myself this new silicon edged ‘fish’ spatula (#EarnsCommission) that has made me an absolute pro at flipping eggs, it just slides effortlessly under the egg to allow you to flip them gently.  Ignore the broken yolk in the picture – that was totally caused when I broke the eggs into the pan combined with my extreme hunger and laziness not to re-take the pictures when I made this meal on subsequent nights.  A safer way would have been to crack the eggs into two small bowls first.

I like to fry eggs by melting a little butter into a pan over medium-low heat.  Cracking in two eggs.  I flip the eggs when the white has firmed up around the edges.  I cook them just until the white is done but the yolk is still perfectly runny.  This probably takes me about a minute per side. Go by feel here though as the heat on the pan has a lot to do with it.

Place the eggs on top of the toasts.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with sriracha (if you can take the heat).

Even though I broke one of the yolks, it was still a little bit runny and the one yolk I made still created a nice creamy sauce.
