Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 2 slices pepper jack cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Butter or oil, for frying
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 4 large eggs, 2 slices of whole grain bread, 2 slices of pepper jack cheese, 1 avocado, salt, pepper, and butter or oil for frying.
- Start by preparing the avocado. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin pieces and set aside.
- In a skillet, add a small amount of butter or oil over medium heat. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet evenly.
- While the skillet is heating, toast the slices of whole grain bread in a toaster until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once the skillet is hot, crack the eggs into the skillet. Cook them to your desired doneness: sunny-side up, over-easy, or over-medium. Season with salt and pepper to taste while they cook.
- When the eggs are nearly done, place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of each egg in the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid for about 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
- While the cheese is melting, check on the toasted bread. Once ready, remove it from the toaster and place it on plates.
- Once the cheese has melted, carefully transfer the fried eggs onto the toasted bread, placing one egg on each slice.
- Top the eggs with the sliced avocado, arranging them as desired. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your Fried Eggs on Toast with Pepper Jack and Avocado!
Tips
- Choose fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan to prevent sticking.
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the eggs and ensure even cooking.
- For perfectly melted cheese, use a lid to trap steam and help it melt quickly.
- Select ripe avocados that are slightly soft but not mushy for the best slicing.
- Experiment with different bread types like sourdough or artisan whole grain for variety.
- Season your eggs while cooking for deeper flavor infusion.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and texture of your dish.
