How do you make avocado toast?

This recipe is pretty simple. We are basically talking about toast, avocado and egg. Oh yes, and some chia seeds on top! But wait, what are those clover leaf looking greens? We will talk about all of the ingredients and their nutritional benefits in a bit!

1. Toast bread and place on plate.
2. Remove avocado pit and skin. Smash ½ of avocado and spread on toast.
3. Top with sunflower sprouts.
4. In a small pan, warm oil over medium heat. Crack egg into pan. Be careful when frying not to break the yolk. Fry until the outside of the egg becomes all white and the yolk starts to slightly firm up. Place fried egg on top of toast. Sprinkle with chia seeds.

These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below.

Tips For Making This Avocado Toast

• Use Good Bread. We used this Deli Style Bread from Schar for this avocado toast with egg recipe. It's sturdy and a good size. 
• Pick ripe avocados. You want Haas avocados that you can give a gentle squeeze to. If you find any brown spots when you cut open the avocado, simply scoop those parts out and discard. 
• Mash first. You want to mash the avocado in a separate bowl before spreading it onto the toast. 

About the avocado...

I would say that avocado is a pretty trendy food right now. It has been for a while. It seems though that people either love it or hate it. I am certainly an avocado lover!

I personally think that avocados are pretty awesome because of how they taste and what they have to offer us. They are super nutrient dense.

Avocados are a fantastic source of vitamins C, E and K. They are pretty good for vitamin B-6 as well! Did I mention healthy fats? Oh yes! Bring on those omega-3 fatty acids!

We simply opened our avocado, removed the pit/skin and mashed the avocado. Then spread the smashed avocado onto your toast!

About the Sunflower Sprouts...

Sunflowers are typically known for their beautiful blooms! I can not argue that those blooms are beautiful, but there is also another great part to the sunflower.

Sunflower sprouts are a great addition into your diet. The sprouts are nutritious and a great source of fiber, iron and healthy fats.

Sunflower sprouts are pretty calorie dense, so use them wisely. I wouldn't suggest using more than a ¼ of a cup at a time. A ¼ of a cup of sunflower sprouts will run you about 190 calories, but they do carry a lot of nutritional benefit.

I used a ¼ of a cup for this Fried Egg Avocado Toast recipe!

About the eggs...

Eggs can be tricky, especially in the texture department. If you can't stomach a runny egg, that is quite fine. Just scramble your egg and use it to top your avocado toast.

There are so many ways you can prepare eggs. For this recipe, I did a cross between a Sunny Side Up and an Over Easy Egg. I wanted the yolk to still be runny but I wanted to flip the egg in the process.

About the chia seeds...

I added chia seeds to my smashed avocado toast for a few reasons. Not only does it give a beautiful contrast, but I also wanted to enjoy some of the benefits that chia seeds has to offer.

Chia seeds follow suit with our nutrient dense ingredient list for this fried egg avocado toast recipe. The seeds offer up fatty acids, vitamins, iron and more.

Chia seeds are said to be great for digestive health, skin, heart health and more.

What if I Don't Eat Eggs?

No eggs? No problem! Swap out the egg for your favorite beans or another vegan protein that you like.

Is Avocado Toast Healthy?

I think that this avocado toast is pretty healthy, but it really depends on your dietary needs. For me, this is a vegetarian and gluten free meal with healthy fats, carbs, and protein. Perfect!
