Ingredients to make the avocado and egg toast recipe, a healthy delight (2 people):

• 1 egg (or 2 if you like with extra egg).
• 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
• 1/2 avocado. Ideally, it should be a little ripe and creamy.
• A few drops of lime juice.
• 2 slices of bread or 4 if they are small.
• Ground black pepper.
• sweet paprika
• Extra virgin olive oil and salt or salt flakes.

Preparation, how to prepare toast with avocado and egg, a healthy delight:

1. We start by cooking eggsI always take the opportunity to cook several at the same time. Put a saucepan or pot with abundant Water to heat (so that the eggs are later completely covered), a little Salt and a tablespoon of vinegarand the fire at medium-high temperature so that it reaches a boil.
2. When the Water is boiling introduce the eggs carefully in the water (you can do it with a spoon), lower the temperature of the fire a little and cook them for 11 minutes.
3. When they are cooked, leave them in a bowl with Water cool, changing the water several times if necessary so that the eggs cool down and do not continue cooking.
4. Cut the slices of bread and toast until slightly golden. When they are ready, place them on a wire rack to cool and keep crisp.
5. Open the avocado in half, remove the bone and with a spoon collect all the meat from one half and put it in a bowl.
6. throw a little of Salt and a few drops of lime juice and mash with a fork until creamy but lumpy.
7. add a bit of olive oilmix again and reserve.
8. Peel the hard-boiled egg and cut it into slices. I have a utensil that I use almost daily and it makes my task much easier, you just need to put the egg and pass the threads over it so that it is cut.
9. To assemble the toast, take the bread and put it on a plate.
10. Spread the mixture on top avocado with its dressing.
11. Share the egg on toast.
12. Finish dressing with a little black pepper ground, sweet paprikaa bit of Salt in flakes or fine salt and a splash of olive oil.

Time: 10 minutes plus the time to cook the egg

Difficulty: easy

Serve and taste:

Bring the toast to the table freshly assembled since if time passes you will see that they soften a little because of everything they carry. If you want to prepare it with advance you may have boiled eggs and in the fridge the day before or even before, but everything else must be done at the moment so that the bread is crispy and the avocado does not brown.

Enjoy the delicious combination of textures since there is a powerful contrast between the egg and the avocado that are rather tender and creamy and the crispy bread. It is also fantastic to see in your mouth how well the different flavors fit together and with this dressing they fit you some authentic toast… scandal!

Variants of the recipe for toast with avocado and egg, a healthy delight:

Add other ingredients to give this toast even more life, for example a little smoked salmon, bacon grilled, Serrano ham either cooked ham, tuna either nice… with everyone it remains 10.

Tips:

Follow the instructions for cooking eggs, both in terms of time and subsequent cooling, to prevent the sauce from giving the yolk that unpleasant green layer. If it comes out because you’ve gotten confused and overcooked them, don’t worry because you can still eat them, but aesthetically it’s not ideal.

If when toasting bread you take it out of the toaster and put it on a plate you will immediately see that steam is created below and it begins to moisten, which takes away the fantastic crunchy touch that it had achieved. remember then leave the toasted bread on a rack until it cools or you can even leave it in the toaster itself a few minutes after it has popped.
