Fried Egg on Buttered Avocado Toast

Source of Recipe

From "The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook" by Lisa Steele


Recipe Introduction

"Not all recipes need to be time consuming or difficult to make. Sometimes a few simple flavors combine into something sublime. This recipe is a fancied-up version of the dropped eggs on toast my mom used to make for me when I was a kid. There's something about the combination of eggs and avocados paired with crispy, buttery toast. Don't have any tarragon? You can substitute a different herb."

List of Ingredients

◦ 1 tablespoon butter, plus more for frying the eggs
◦ 2 slices bread
◦ 2 fried eggs
◦ 1 avocado
◦ Fresh tarragon
◦ Kosher salt
◦ Freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the bread on both sides until golden brown, a minute or two on each side. Remove from the skillet and arrange the toast on two plates.

Fry the eggs to taste in the same skillet. Add more butter if needed. Peel and slice the avocado and arrange on the toast. Top with an egg. Garnish with the tarragon, and season with salt and pepper.
