How to Make Fancy Avocado Toast
Ingredients
- A very small ripe avocado — pitted and cut into pieces (chunked or sliced)
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Two to three ripped basil leaves
- Ground red pepper flakes (plus extra for sprinkling on top)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1x thick slice real good sourdough bread (toasted)
- Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- In a bowl, mash up the avocado with lemon juice and ripped basil leaves together with a pinch of red chilli flakes. Mash one or two pieces of avocado gently with a fork and then stir in the rest. The avocado should be way, WAY chunky — there should still at least a couple whole slices in the mix. Season with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
- Egg + cold water (fill up a small sauce pan until the egg is roughly an inch submerged in above.) Bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat immediately, cover the skillet and keep it aside for 4 minutes. After 5 minutes carefully remove the eggs, you will then have an egg with just set white and a runny thick yolk.
- Fill a small bowl with ice water. Transferring egg to the ice water (to stop cooking) and cool down enough for handling in 4 minutes Crack the shell by tapping to a counter gently, then peel it under running water or into tepid water. Try not to puncture that delicate yolk.
- Divide the avocado mash among the toasty bread, drizzle with olive oil lightly and add 1 soft boiled egg (halved by using a knife right before serving) And red pepper flakes, to taste. Serve immediately.
