# What Goes In:

→ Bread

01 - 2 slices whole grain bread

→ Avocado

02 - 1 ripe avocado
03 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
04 - 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
05 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

07 - 1/2 cup assorted microgreens

02 - Toast the whole grain bread slices to your desired crispness.
03 - Halve and pit the avocado. Mash the flesh in a bowl with lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper until mostly smooth.
04 - When eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl of cold water. Peel gently once cool enough to handle.
05 - Spread mashed avocado evenly over each toast slice.
06 - Slice each soft-boiled egg in half and place on top of the avocado toast.
07 - Top with microgreens. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes 17 minutes from hungry to satisfied, yet feels like you actually took care of yourself.
  • The soft yolk acts like a natural sauce that transforms simple toast into something craveable.
  • You can customize it endlessly based on what's in your fridge that morning.
02 -
  • Timing the egg is everything—I learned this the hard way by cooking them 30 seconds too long and watching the yolk turn pale yellow instead of that gorgeous orange.
  • The avocado will brown quickly once it's mashed, so don't prep it more than a few minutes before assembling, and always use fresh lemon juice, not bottled.
03 -
  • If you're meal prepping, you can soft-boil your eggs the night before and store them in the fridge—they peel much more easily once they're completely cool.
  • Keep your avocados in the warmest part of your fridge if you want to slow their ripening, but bring them to room temperature before using them so the flavor is fuller and the texture is creamy.
