Avocado and egg

Avocado and egg make a fantastic combination, offering both richness and protein. Here are a few delicious ways to enjoy them together:

1. Avocado Toast with Egg

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 2 slices of bread (your choice)
• 1-2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes or chili flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Avocado:

3. Cook the Eggs:

   • You can prepare the eggs to your preference: poached, fried, or scrambled. For poached eggs, gently simmer eggs in water with a splash of vinegar until the whites are set and the yolks are runny. For fried eggs, cook in a skillet with a bit of oil or butter until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft.
