Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1

Ingredients

1 slice whole-grain bread
½ ripe avocado
1 large egg
½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
A small pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
A pinch of chilli flakes, optional
Fresh herbs or spring onion, optional

Instructions

1. Toast the bread.
2. Toast the whole-grain bread until golden and slightly crisp.
3. Prepare the avocado.
4. Scoop the avocado into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and a small pinch of salt, then mash gently with a fork. Leave a little texture rather than making it completely smooth.
5. Cook the egg.
6. Cook the egg to your preference. You can poach, boil, or pan-cook it using a small amount of oil.
7. Assemble the toast.
8. Spread the mashed avocado generously over the warm toast and place the cooked egg on top.
Finish and serve.
9. Add freshly ground black pepper and, if you like, a little chilli flakes, spring onion, or fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Clean Eating Tips

• Choose bread with whole grains as one of the main ingredients and keep heavily processed sauces and spreads to a minimum.
• Avocado already provides richness and creaminess, so you don’t need much additional oil or butter. The egg adds protein, while avocado contributes unsaturated fats and the whole-grain bread provides carbohydrates and fibre.

Make It Your Own

Try adding sliced tomato, cucumber, spinach, mushrooms, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds. If you want a larger breakfast, serve it with a piece of fresh fruit on the side.
