# What You'll Need:

→ 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
08 - 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and cook for 6 to 7 minutes for soft-boiled centers.
02 - Meanwhile, 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.
08 - Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning without stress.
  • The contrast of creamy avocado, runny egg yolk, and crisp toast creates a texture party that keeps you satisfied for hours.
  • It's naturally packed with healthy fats and protein, so you're not just eating something pretty—it actually fuels you.
02 -
  • Timing is everything with soft-boiled eggs—six minutes gives you a jammy yolk, seven is slightly firmer; anything less or more changes the whole experience.
  • The cold water bath is non-negotiable; it stops the cooking and prevents that gray-green ring around the yolk that no one wants to see.
03 -
  • Keep your avocado at room temperature; it mashes smoother and tastes less bitter than a cold one straight from the fridge.
  • The secret to peeling soft-boiled eggs cleanly is patience and cool water—rush it and you'll tear the delicate white underneath.
