When Avocado Met Egg: A Breakfast Love Story to Savour

Introduction/Recipe Features:

Move over avocado toast, there’s a new power couple in town – the avocado and egg breakfast sandwich! This delightful creation is a match made in breakfast heaven, combining the creamy richness of avocado with the satisfying protein of eggs, all nestled between two slices of toasted bread. It’s a flavor explosion that will have you head over heels from the first bite.

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or your favorite)
• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional extras: sliced tomato, spinach, cheese, bacon, etc.
  

How to Make Instructions:

1. Toast your bread slices until golden brown and crispy. . .
2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and mash the flesh in a small bowl with a fork
3. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or olive oil.
4. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set, but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness).
5. Spread the mashed avocado generously on one slice of toasted bread
6. Place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado, and season with salt and pepper.
   
7. Top with the other slice of toasted bread, and gently press down.
8. Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy!
   

Helpful Tips:

• For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs (like cilantro or chives) to the mashed avocado.
• If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook the eggs a little longer, or try making them over-easy or sunny-side up.
• Use a fork to mash the avocado directly on the bread slice to prevent it from getting too mushy.

Substitutions/Variations:

• Swap out the bread for an English muffin or bagel.
• Add sliced tomato, spinach, or cheese for extra nutrients and flavor.
• For a heartier sandwich, include crispy bacon or ham.
• Make it vegetarian by omitting the egg and adding extra avocado or veggies.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
A: It’s best to assemble and eat this sandwich fresh, as the avocado and egg can get soggy if made too far in advance.

Q: How do I prevent the avocado from turning brown?
A: Squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the mashed avocado to help prevent oxidation and browning.

Q: Can I use a different type of egg preparation?
A: Absolutely! Try scrambled eggs, a fried egg, or even a hard-boiled egg for a different texture.

Storage Instructions:
This sandwich is best consumed immediately after assembling for the best texture and flavor. If you plan to have leftovers, store the individual components (bread, avocado, and cooked eggs) separately in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, and assemble the sandwich just before serving.
