Ingredients

2 avocados
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
4 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices bread toasted
Balsamic glaze
Basil chopped
Cherry tomatoes sliced (optional)

Instructions

Slice avocados in half and discard the pits.
Using the tip of a paring knife, score the avocado flesh into medium squares while still inside the shells.
Use a spoon to scoop out the cubes into a bowl.
Add the lemon juice and salt.
Gently smash the avocado squares with a fork or spoon. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick sauté pan over medium heat.
Spray with nonstick spray and fry the eggs until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still soft.
Salt and pepper to taste. Remove pan from heat.
Spread smashed avocado over slices of toast.
Top each piece of toast with fried egg, balsamic glaze and chopped basil.
Serve with sliced cherry tomatoes if desired.

Notes

To pick the best avocado, look for one that will “give” a little but isn’t too mushy.
Using lemon or lime juice helps slow down the browning process of an avocado.
Store leftover smashed avocado in a small bowl in the fridge, covered in plastic wrap, for up to three days.
