Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Toasting
- 2 slices bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or olive oil spray)
Avocado Spread
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Toppings
- 2 eggs (fried or poached)
- 1/4 cup microgreens (or fresh herbs)
- 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning
- 2 slices tomato
Instructions
- Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for 2 minutes to ensure even and crispy toasting.
- Prepare the Bread: Lightly brush or spray each side of the two bread slices with olive oil to enhance crispiness and flavor.
- Toast the Bread: Place the olive oil-coated bread slices in the preheated air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Air fry for 3-4 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and mash with a fork until you reach your preferred consistency—chunky or smooth.
- Assemble the Toast: Remove the toasted bread from the air fryer and let it cool for about 30 seconds. Spread the avocado mixture evenly onto each toast slice, covering the surface.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired, then top each toast with fried or poached eggs, tomato slices, microgreens, and a pinch of everything bagel seasoning.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the toast is still warm and crispy for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for a creamy, rich spread and avoid underripe fruit that can be hard to mash.
- Adjust seasoning in the avocado spread to taste; lemon juice helps prevent browning.
- Egg preparation is flexible—fried or poached eggs both work well as toppings.
- If preferred, add other toppings like feta cheese, smoked salmon, or fresh herbs.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping.
- For a vegan option, omit the eggs and add extra microgreens or tomato slices.
