1 ripe avocado

Place the cooked egg on top of each toast.

Notes
-
Bread Selection: Opt for almond or coconut flour-based breads for a truly keto-friendly choice. Many health food stores now stock keto bread, but always check the label for hidden carbs.
-
Ripe Avocados: To check an avocado's ripeness, gently press near the top. If it gives slightly, it's ready. Too soft might mean it's overripe.
-
Egg Cooking: Whether you like your egg sunny side up, poached, or over-easy, it's all about timing. For a runny yolk, fry for about 2 minutes on each side. If poaching is more your style, 3-4 minutes in simmering water does the trick.
-
Boosting Flavor: Consider adding herbs like cilantro or parsley. For an extra kick, a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños can elevate the dish.
-
Nutritional Boost: Avocados are packed with potassium, fiber, and healthy fats. Paired with the protein from the egg, this meal is both nutritious and satiating, making it perfect for those on a keto diet.
-
Storage Tip: If you've got leftover avocado, store it with the pit in an airtight container in the fridge. A light brush of lemon juice can prevent browning.
