Pesto and Fried Egg Avocado Toast
Ingredients: Basil pesto, eggs, butter, avocado, bread, salt and pepper, and optional green onions and tomatoes.
Directions:
- Mash up a ripe avocado in a small bowl. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Toast a piece of bread, then slather in the mashed avocado.
- Put a spoonful of basil pesto on top of the avocado.
- Heat a pan on medium-high and melt a pat of butter. Crack an egg and cover with a lid, steaming the tops. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are no longer opaque and are set on top.
- Top each slice of avocado and pesto slathered toast with a fried egg. Season with a little salt, pepper, and sliced green onions and fresh tomatoes, if desired.
Avocado Toast with Egg Salad, Bacon and Arugula
