Ingredients

• 2 slices whole grain bread
• 1 medium ripe avocado
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 4 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the avocado in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Use a fork to mash the avocado until it's smooth with some small chunks remaining.

Step 2

Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into halves. Set them aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the baby spinach and cook for about 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Crack open the eggs into the skillet. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, whether sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 5

While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of whole grain bread to your preferred crispness.

Step 6

Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices.

Step 7

Top the avocado layer with the wilted spinach and cherry tomato halves.

Step 8

Place the cooked egg on top of each toast. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein avocado toast!
