Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients: Slice avocado, measure salsa and cheese, and have salt and pepper ready.
- Toast bread slices until golden brown and crisp, ensuring they can support the toppings.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a light spray of cooking oil or butter.
- Crack eggs directly into the skillet, cooking them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season eggs with salt and pepper while cooking.
- While eggs are cooking, place toasted bread on serving plates.
- Spread a thin layer of salsa evenly across each slice of toast.
- Arrange sliced avocado on top of the salsa-covered toast.
- Once eggs are cooked, carefully place one fried egg on each toast slice.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot eggs, allowing it to slightly melt.
- Garnish with additional salsa or fresh herbs like cilantro if desired.
- Serve immediately while eggs are hot and cheese is melting.
Tips
- Toast Perfection: Use thick-cut bread and toast it until it's golden and sturdy enough to hold your toppings without getting soggy.
- Egg Technique: For the best sunny-side-up eggs, use a non-stick skillet and cook on medium heat. The key is a runny yolk that acts like a sauce when you cut into the sandwich.
- Avocado Hack: Choose a ripe avocado and slice it just before serving to prevent browning and maintain that fresh, creamy texture.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Sprinkle cheese while the eggs are still hot to create that irresistible, slightly melted cheese layer.
- Salsa Selection: Use a fresh, chunky salsa for maximum flavor. Homemade or high-quality store-bought works great.
- Optional Upgrade: Add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a dash of hot sauce for an extra flavor kick.
- Serve Immediately: This sandwich is best enjoyed hot and fresh, so time your cooking to serve right away.
