EASY EGG AND AVOCADO TOAST
Forget tortilla chips! Seeded whole grain bread, toasted to its full potential, is avocado's real soulmate. After a lifetime of knowing this power couple, I decided to throw some subtle spice and acid their way to better complement the healthy fats, especially when an egg is involved. Works the same if you skip the egg and make it vegan!

AVOCADO EGG SALAD TOAST
I had a surplus of avocados after purchasing too many for an event. A few days later, I was making egg salad sandwiches for lunch and had the fantastic idea to use avocado to bind it together instead of traditional mayo. Not only was this version unbelievably delicious but the healthy fats in the avocado make this a much better option than the traditional mayo-laden version. -Shannon Dobos, Calgary, Alberta

AVOCADO TOAST WITH EGG
I love avocado toast, and if you add an egg to it you have a full meal. Sometimes I use balsamic vinegar to flavor the avocado instead of the lemon juice. You can make the egg any way you like, but I like it best fried or poached.

Steps:
- Spread Avo Smash on both pieces of toast. Cut one slice in diagonally in half and top the other with tomato slices and the poached egg.
- To serve, slightly separate the halved avo toast and place the other half with the tomato and poached egg on top. Finish the toasts with the herb salt, lemon oil, and a squeeze of Meyer lemon juice. Top with a little fresh herb salad.
Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should give slightly to the touch but not be mushy.
- Toast the bread to perfection: Toasted bread provides a sturdy base for the avocado and egg. Toast the bread until it is golden brown and crispy.
- Season the avocado: Before topping the toast with the avocado, season it with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. This will enhance the flavor of the avocado.
- Cook the egg to your liking: You can cook the egg to your desired doneness. For a runny yolk, cook the egg for about 2-3 minutes. For a firmer yolk, cook the egg for 4-5 minutes.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once the avocado toast is assembled, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sliced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped chives, and hot sauce.
