Avocado toast has become a staple in many kitchens, and for good reason!
It's simple, delicious, and packed with nutrients. When you add eggs into the mix, you get an extra boost of protein and a creamy texture that complements the avocado perfectly. Plus, this Avocado Toast with Eggs recipe is gluten-free, making it a fantastic option for those with dietary restrictions. Let's dive into how I make this delightful dish that we all love.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of gluten-free bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs (Eggoz farm-fresh eggs with bright orange yolks, of course!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Olive oil for cooking
Easiest Steps to Make a Healthy and Gluten-Free Avocado Toast with Eggs:
Toast the Bread:
We start by toasting two slices of gluten-free bread until they're golden and crispy. While the bread is toasting, I like to prepare the avocado and eggs.
Prepare the Avocado:
Now, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. We then mash the avocado with a fork until it's mostly smooth but still a bit chunky. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper to the avocado. Sometimes, I also like to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Cook the Eggs:
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. I crack the eggs into the pan and cook them to my liking. For this recipe, we can go with either sunny-side-up or poached eggs. The runny yolk adds an extra layer of richness to the toast. If you're not a fan of runny yolks, feel free to cook the eggs a bit longer until the yolk is firm.
Assemble the Toast:
Once the bread is toasted to perfection, I spread the mashed avocado evenly over the slices. Then, we carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado.
Season and Serve:
To finish, I sprinkle a little more salt and pepper over the eggs. We can also add another squeeze of lemon juice if you like it tangy. Now, our avocado toast with eggs is ready to serve!
Tips:
- For Extra Creaminess: Add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the mashed avocado.
- For Added Crunch: Sprinkle some toasted seeds or nuts on top of the eggs.
- For More Flavour: Add some chopped fresh herbs, like cilantro or chives, over the toast.
