Description
A comforting and nutritious breakfast featuring toasted bagels topped with creamy avocado and a perfectly cooked egg.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 whole bagels (your choice: plain, everything, sesame)
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Everything bagel seasoning (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Slice the bagels in half and set them near the toaster. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash lightly with a fork — leave some small chunks for texture.
- Toast each half until golden and crisp to your liking.
- Choose your egg cooking method:
- Fried: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low, add a small pat of butter or oil, crack the eggs, and cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny (about 3–4 minutes).
- Poached: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, swirl, and add a cracked egg; cook for 3–4 minutes.
- Soft-boiled: Place eggs in boiling water for 6–7 minutes, cool in ice water, then peel.
- Spread the mashed avocado on the bottom halves of the toasted bagels and season with extra salt and pepper. Place one cooked egg on top of each avocado-covered half.
- Top with the other half of the bagel, press gently, and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning or additional toppings if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Don’t over-mash the avocado — keep some texture. Toast bagels to the moment to prevent sogginess.
