Spicy Avocado Toast with Fried Eggs
This recipe is one of our favorite weekend brunches. Usually whenever the household is full, Spicy Avocado Toast with Fried Eggs shows up. Today, I made this just for us (as in me and the husband). Much as I like to avoid the inevitable, there are more and more such meals looming in our future, as the next gets empty in fall.
The Spicy Avocado Toast with Fried Eggs Story
Well, at the moment the house is very full. My mother is here for her summer visit. This though is not her kind of food. I did make an interesting salmon curry, that I will share as soon as time permits. So yes, there is lots of hectic looming on the horizon. Interestingly for me good meal inspiration happens when life is at its busiest.
So I remembered about this after a stay in the city catching up with my brother. The hotel breakfast included avocado toast. It was acceptable, but for $20 a piece, I want more than acceptable. It does not take a lot to pull together a simple dish like this and make it delicious.
A little bit of Indian
Now, this version that I make, uses chaat masala mixed into the avocado. And the eggs have their share of flavor. The fried eggs have a little bit of parmesan and are fried until the edges are crisp. I think, the flavoring in the avocado mixture can be adjusted to your liking and taste.
Today I found absolutely perfect avocadoes, and really good fresh eggs. Served on perfect sourdough bread, this results in a simple and perfect meal. Right along with the perfect weather outside, it offered me calming comfort in a the form of a reasonable wholesome and balanced meal. Protein, carbs and vegetables. Yes, the proportions could be different, but for today I will take what I can get.
Each avocado works for 2 servings, with the rest of the fixings. And of course, allow one egg per person. Another fun avocado toast recipe from this blog includes this avocado toast with mangoes. A great Indian inspired breakfast recipe includes this Indian French Toast recipe.
A well seasoned take on avocado toast with crisp fried eggs, this offers a possibility for any meal of the day.
