(Keywords: Avocado Toast with Jammy Eggs, Pesto Avocado Toast, Protein-Packed Breakfast)


Ingredients

  • 2 slices sourdough bread

  • 1 ripe avocado

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons pesto sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Red pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower in the eggs and boil for 7 minutes for jammy centers.

  • Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel and slice into quarters.

  • Toast the sourdough bread until golden and crisp.

  • In a bowl, mash the avocado with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  • Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each toast slice.

  • Arrange the quartered jammy eggs on top of the avocado.

  • Drizzle with pesto sauce and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.

  • Season with extra salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.


Notes

  • Boiling for exactly 7 minutes gives perfect jammy yolks; adjust timing slightly for firmer or softer centers.

  • Use a good quality, fresh pesto for the best flavor.

  • Optional add-ons: fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes, or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
