Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

4 large eggs

4 slices of whole grain bread or English muffins

1 cup shredded cheese (choose your favorite: cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for cooking

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for extra flavor)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Red pepper flakes, for a bit of heat (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Bread: Begin by preheating your broiler to high. Arrange the slices of whole grain bread or English muffins on a baking sheet. Lightly brush both sides of the bread with olive oil. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, toasting until golden brown. Flip the bread halfway through for even crispiness.

    Cook the Eggs: In a non-stick skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, ensuring they have enough space between them. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika if you're using it. Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness: sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat.

      Prepare the Avocado: While the eggs are cooking, take the avocados and cut them in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency (smooth or chunky). Season the mashed avocado with salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Melts: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado over each slice. Carefully place one cooked egg on top of the avocado on each piece.

          Add Cheese & Broil: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of each egg. Return the baking sheet to the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

            Garnish & Serve: Once done, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish each melt with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes on top if you enjoy a bit of heat. Serve your Avocado Egg Breakfast Melts hot and enjoy!
