Avocado and Egg Sandwich

Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1 tablespoon

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon

Black pepper

to taste

Salt

to taste

Whole grain or sourdough bread

4 slices

Eggs

4 large

Ripe avocado

2, halved and pitted

Instructions

1. In a bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash it with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
3. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. For firmer yolks, cook an additional minute.
4. While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a grill pan until golden brown and crispy.
5. Spread an even layer of the mashed avocado mixture on two slices of the toasted bread.
6. Carefully place two cooked eggs on top of the avocado mixture on each slice of bread.
7. Top with the remaining toasted bread slices to form sandwiches.
8. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately, garnished with additional red pepper flakes if desired.
