Egg and Avocado Toast

Egg and Avocado Toast is a delightful low-carb American lunch that combines creamy avocado with perfectly cooked eggs on a bed of crisp lettuce instead of traditional bread. This dish is not only flavorful but also packed with nutrients, making it an excellent choice for a healthy meal.

Ingredients

• Large eggs - 4
• Ripe avocado - 1 medium
• Lettuce leaves (for base) - 4 large leaves
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Red pepper flakes - optional, for garnish

• Chives (chopped) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
3. While the eggs are cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and drying them thoroughly.
4. Once the eggs are done, remove them from the skillet and place them on top of the prepared lettuce leaves.
5. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the eggs, then sprinkle with chopped chives and red pepper flakes if desired.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy Egg and Avocado Toast!
