Let’s Make It Together
Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s dive into making this amazing Avocado Toast with Eggs Chili Butter!
Prepare Your Bread: Start by preheating your toaster or grill while slicing your bread. Aim for about half an inch thickness for optimal toastiness.
Make the Chili Butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter gently. Stir in chili flakes until fragrant—about 1-2 minutes—and set aside to cool slightly.
Toast Those Slices!: Pop your bread slices into the toaster or onto a grill until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don’t turn into bricks.
Cook Your Eggs: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, crack in the eggs. Cook until whites are set but yolks remain runny—about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side-up perfection.
Mash the Avocado: In a bowl, scoop out ripe avocados and mash them lightly with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy but still chunky.
Assemble Your Toasts!: Spread mashed avocado generously on each slice of toasted bread, top with fried eggs, and drizzle all over with that delightful chili butter.
And voila! Your Avocado Toast with Eggs Chili Butter is ready to wow your taste buds!
Every step is easy-peasy and filled with aromatic delights that’ll have you dancing around the kitchen while cooking! Enjoy every crispy, creamy bite of this lovely dish!
