📋 Ingredients (Serves 2)

🔸 For the Toast:

  • 2 slices of bread (whole grain, sourdough, keto, or gluten-free — your choice)

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 1–2 tsp lemon or lime juice

  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

  • Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, olive oil, microgreens

🔸 For the Soft-Boiled Eggs:

  • 2 large eggs

  • Water for boiling

  • Ice water (for cooling)

🥣 Instructions

1. Make Soft-Boiled Eggs

Here’s a foolproof method for soft-boiled eggs with jimmy yolks:

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil.

  2. Gently lower eggs into boiling water with a spoon.

  3. Boil for 6½ minutes for jimmy yolks.
    (Go 7 minutes for slightly firmer, 6 for more runny.)

  4. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath to stop cooking.

  5. Let sit for at least 2 minutes, then peel carefully.

2. Toast the Bread

  • While eggs cool, toast your bread slices to your desired level of crispness.

3. Mash the Avocado

  • Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop into a bowl.

  • Add lemon/lime juice, salt, and pepper.

  • Mash lightly with a fork — keep it a little chunky for texture.

4. Assemble the Toast

  1. Spread mashed avocado generously on each slice of toasted bread.

  2. Slice or halve the peeled soft-boiled eggs and place on top.

  3. Sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and your favorite toppings:

    • Red pepper flakes for heat

    • Everything bagel seasoning for crunch

    • Olive oil drizzle for richness

    • Microgreens or herbs for freshness

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with fruit or a side salad for a balanced meal.

  • Add smoked salmon or prosciutto for extra protein.

  • For a low-carb option, serve on chafe, Portobello mushrooms, or cloud bread.
