Avocado Toast Recipe

Brunch Entrees

1. 1

   Toast bread

   Brush bread slices with a little olive oil and toast in a skillet over medium heat, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.

2. 2

   Prepare avocado spread

   Halve the avocado, scoop into a bowl. Mash with lime juice, salt, and pepper until creamy but still slightly chunky.

3. 3

   Cook eggs

   In a nonstick skillet, heat a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs and cook sunny-side-up until whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Assemble toasts

   Spread the avocado mixture on each toast. Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese over the avocado. Top each with a sunny-side-up egg.

5. 5

   Garnish and finish

   Top with sliced scallions and a light sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add optional red pepper flakes for heat. Serve immediately.
