Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread

- 2 large eggs

How to Make Avocado Toast with Spiced Eggs
- Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.
- While the bread is toasting, heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or to your desired doneness.
- While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork and mix in chopped cilantro.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice.
- Carefully place the spiced eggs on top of the avocado toast.
- Garnish with additional cilantro and, if desired, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious avocado toast with spiced eggs!
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose ripe avocados for the best flavor and creaminess.
- For perfectly cooked eggs, consider using a lid on the skillet to help the whites set without overcooking the yolks.
- Experiment with different spices like cumin or chili powder to suit your taste preferences.
Easy Variations
- Add sliced tomatoes or radishes for a fresh crunch.
- Top with feta cheese or goat cheese for a tangy twist.
- Swap out whole grain bread for sourdough or gluten-free options.
- For a protein boost, add smoked salmon or cooked bacon on top.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Greek yogurt with honey and nuts for added protein.
- A smoothie for a nutritious drink option.
- A simple green salad for extra veggies.

Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftover ingredients, store the mashed avocado in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning. Cooked eggs can be refrigerated and reheated on a skillet for a quick meal. Toast can also be stored in a bread bag for up to two days.
