When my daughter is home from college, we have lattes and avocado toast just about every morning. Today, she made this dish, and it was pure bliss. There's something magical about the combination of creamy avocado, crispy eggs, and a hint of spice.
Ingredients for a Perfect Breakfast
2 large slices of whole-grain sourdough bread
1 large avocado
2 large organic pasture-raised eggs
1/2 lime
Kosher salt
Cracked pepper
3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
Balsamic glaze
Chili crisp
1/2 cup of Hopebird Sriracha-cha pumpkin seeds
Microgreens
Directions: How to Make It
Follow these simple steps to create your avocado toast masterpiece:
Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the Eggs: Coat a pan with extra-virgin olive oil and heat it until it sputters a little.
Cook the Eggs: Holding the eggs low over the pan to avoid splatters, carefully crack them into the hot oil. Tilt the pan and spoon hot oil over the eggs, basting them. Cook until the edges are crispy and the yolks are cooked to your preference (we love jammy eggs!). Remove the eggs from heat.
Mash the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half and scoop each half onto a slice of toast. Using a fork, smash the avocado and season it with kosher salt, black pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
Assemble Your Toast: Lay the crispy eggs on top of the smashed avocado. Drizzle with chili crisp and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle the Sriracha-cha pumpkin seeds for an extra crunch. Finish with a handful of microgreens.
Add Your Personal Touch
Why not get creative? Add pickled red onions, sizzled scallions, Tajin, or even crispy prosciutto.
Why Avocado Toast?
Avocado toast is not just a trendy breakfast; it's a nutritious powerhouse. Packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein, it keeps you energized throughout your busy day.
The Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds
Let’s talk about those Hopebird Sriracha-cha pumpkin seeds. They add a delicate crunch and a spicy kick to your toast. Pumpkin seeds are rich in plant-powered protein, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants, making them a great choice for snacks and recipes.
Happy toasting!
