💡 Chef tips
- For a creamier avocado mash, add a teaspoon of Greek yogurt or olive oil to the mix.
- If you prefer a different texture, you can soft-boil the eggs for 6 minutes instead of frying them.
- To prevent avocado from browning if preparing in advance, keep the pit in the mashed mixture or press plastic wrap directly onto the surface.
✅ How it should turn out
The dish should feature a vibrant green avocado base topped with a glistening, golden-yolked egg, offering a harmonious blend of creamy, savory, and slightly spicy flavors with a satisfying crunch from the toasted bread.
