Toast & Avocado

Pickled Fresno Relish

Choice of Side (select one)

Method

Pickled Fresno Relish

  1. 1

    Quick-pickle fresno

    Combine the sliced fresno chile and finely chopped red onion in a small bowl. Stir in rice vinegar, water, sugar and 1/4 tsp kosher salt until sugar dissolves. Let sit at room temperature at least 10 minutes while you prepare other components. Can be made ahead and chilled for up to 2 days.

Toast & Avocado

  1. 2

    Grill sourdough

    Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the sourdough slices lightly with 1 tsp olive oil. Grill slices 1–2 minutes per side until golden and slightly charred; remove and keep warm.

  2. 3

    Prepare avocado spread

    Halve the avocado, remove pit and scoop flesh into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mash with a fork to a spreadable but slightly chunky consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning or lemon to preference.

Eggs

  1. 4

    Cook over-easy eggs

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp butter or oil. Crack two eggs into the pan (or crack into a small bowl and slide in). Cook until whites are mostly set, about 2 minutes, then gently flip with a spatula and cook 30–45 seconds for runny yolks (longer if you prefer firmer yolks). Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Remove from heat.

Assembly & Finishes

  1. 5

    Assemble avocado toast

    Spread the mashed avocado evenly over both grilled sourdough slices.

  2. 6

    Add eggs and relish

    Place one over-easy egg on each slice. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the pickled Fresno relish across the top of each egg and toast, distributing slices and onions evenly.

  3. 7

    Finish and garnish

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan over the avocado and egg (1 tbsp per slice) and then dust everything seasoning (about 1/2 tsp per slice, total 1 tsp). Add microgreens or chopped chives if using and a squeeze of lemon to taste.

  4. 8

    Serve with side

    Plate the avocado toasts with your choice of side: a simple mixed greens salad tossed lightly with oil and lemon (about 1 cup) or about 1/2 cup roasted potatoes. Serve immediately so eggs remain warm and yolks runny.
