In this satisfying avocado-egg toast recipe, try full-flavored, high-fiber bread, like a hearty slice of German-style rye or seeded multigrain from your favorite bakery. To turn this into a portable breakfast, swap the toast for a whole-wheat English muffin or wrap.

Prep/Cook Time: 20 Minutes, Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 1/2 small avocado, mashed
  • 1 slice whole-grain bread, toasted
  • Pinch of ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon salsa

Directions

  1. Spread avocado on toast; season with pepper.
  2. Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and spinach and cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, 30 to 60 seconds. Top the avocado toast with the spinach.
  3. Heat the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil in the pan. Crack egg into the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 5 to 7 minutes for a soft-set yolk. Top the toast with the egg and salsa.
