Think of avocado toast as a base for your own creation: Start with a piece of whole grain bread (using it makes this a yellow recipe on the Calibrate Food Triangle and red during the Jumpstart; for a green option, sub in sweet potato toast), then top it with mashed avocado and an egg for the perfect combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fat. From there, make it more exciting by adding a variety of your favorite toppings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • ¼-½ avocado
  • 1 piece whole grain bread (such as Ezekiel), toasted
  • Flaky sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, or crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Pepitas, tahini, or hemp seeds (optional)
  • Pickled red onions or thinly sliced watermelon radishes (optional)

Directions:

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the egg to the boiling water and cook until soft boiled, 6 minutes. 
  2. Immediately remove the egg from the water and run under cold water, or gently crack the egg shell to let the egg cool and stop cooking. Peel or use a spoon to scoop out the egg.
  3. Meanwhile, mash the avocado in a small bowl until your desired consistency, then spread on the toasted bread. Top with the egg and other toppings if desired.
