Avocado Egg Toast

This is one of the simplest breakfasts that I make. It started with a jar of chipotle powder I had gotten almost two years ago, which I rarely used. Not sure what to put it in, the powder sat closed in my cabinet for months and the only time they made an appearance was when I used the round cap to trace out macarons on parchment paper for cookie-making.

One summer, when I was making guacamole, I tried some of the powder in the avocado and it tasted surprisingly good! The chipotle powder had a slightly spicy, burnt, tangy taste that flavored avocados deliciously without adding salt, pepper, and a host of other spices I would have otherwise used.

Since then, I’ve used the entire jar of chipotle sauce on avocados, and this avocado toast is the tried-and-true product that I usually use avocados for. It’s just 5 ingredients: sourdough bread, an avocado, chipotle powder, egg, and pepper. And it takes 5 minute to make!

Since starting to study for boards, this has become the instant/fast/treat food when ramen seems a bit too unhealthy for the night. It’s a breakfast food, but I eat it for dinner too since it’s so quick and yummy.

The sunny-side-up egg can be made to be soft in the center or firm, depending your preference! Personally I like the egg to be slightly soft, so the egg yolk is runny when I bite in.

Happy breakfasting/brunching!
