Don’t pay $18. Make this and spend about $3.

Avocado Toast with Egg
Avocado Toast with Egg (that’s the PLUS)

Start to finish, this excellent breakfast should take about 5 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

  • Slice of any bread of your choice (this one was a seeded wheat)
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 5 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 egg
  • 1 TBSP butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cumin (optional)

Directions

I first gather my ingredients. Slice the avocado. Slice tomatoes. Get my trusty egg pan and silicone spatula. Begin warming the butter in the pan. Use a medium to low heat. When the butter is melted, add the tomatoes to allow them soften and get warm. Once they are ready, about 2 minutes, remove to the side. Crack your egg into the same pan. If you dare, go now and drop your toast in your toaster. I like 3 minutes for a pretty brown toast. The time may vary by toaster. Return to your egg. If you are making a fried egg, I go ahead and bust the yolk at this point. You want it to spread through the white, but not make a scrambled egg. Salt and pepper as you like, then flip. With a total cook time of 3 minutes, your egg should be done.

It’s time to assemble. Slather the 1/2 avocado onto the toast. Salt and pepper. I actually add a little cumin, as well. I love the extra earthy flavor bomb it provides. In my photo, you see that I dropped my cooked eggs and tomatoes into a bowl. I wanted to dip my toast in the egg, as I made it over easy on that day. You may like to pile all ingredients onto your toast?

However you build yours, I hope you have had fun! Enjoy. And please feel free to comment.

Epiphany of the day

Hey there! I was trying to make use of some inherited can beans today. My first order of business was to make refried beans to add to some mole that I had made previously. Had burrito in mind! Then, I realized that refried beans and bean dip are basically the same thing. Yes? No?

Refried Beans < = > Bean dip???


Funny how those little concepts just pop into your mind at times. I thought it was fun.

What did I do? Here’s the Recipe

  • Rinse beans (optional)
  • 1 tsp Chicken base
  • 2 TBS water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Just heat over medium heat. Mash up with potato masher or fork. Simmer down until desired consistency. ENJOY!
