Ingredients
  

For the Toast
  • 1 slice Sourdough bread
  • Olive oil for toasting
For the Topping
  • 1/2 Avocado smashed with a squeeze of lime or lemon and sprinkle of salt
  • 1/3 cup Cottage cheese
  • 2 Eggs prepared however you like them-fried, poached, scrambled, hard-boiled
Optional Garnishes
  • Microgreens
  • Green onions
  • Thinly sliced tomato
  • Red onion
  • Chili crunch or bagel seasoning
  • Flaky sea salt
  • Honey drizzle

Equipment

  • Stainless steel pan
  • Air fryer
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Heat a stainless steel pan over medium heat and add a swish of olive oil. Add your slice of bread, tossing it so it’s coated in a bit of olive oil on each side. Fry bread for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and toasted.
  2. Smash up your avocado with a squeeze of lemon or lime and a big pinch of salt.
  3. Prepare eggs per your preference. For air fryer eggs: add eggs to your air fryer basket and air fry at 250 degrees for 15 minutes (medium-boiled) to 18 minutes (hard-boiled). Plunge them into a bowl of ice water to make peeling easier. Season eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the avocado mash on your toasted bread, followed by the cottage cheese, then eggs. Garnish with your chosen toppings like green onions, microgreens, chili crunch seasoning, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

This recipe is easily customizable. Feel free to swap out the cottage cheese for Greek yogurt or ricotta, or add other vegetables like spinach or radishes.
