Ingredients
1 bagel (any flavor), split
1/2 ripe avocado
1 large egg
1 teaspoon butter or oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes, lemon juice
Instructions
Toast the bagel halves in a toaster or oven until golden brown.
While the bagel toasts, halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Crack the egg into the pan and cook to your liking (sunny-side up, over easy, etc.). Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the mashed avocado onto the toasted bagel halves.
Place the cooked egg on top of one half. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using. Top with the other bagel half or serve open-faced.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning or a dash of hot sauce.
If you prefer scrambled eggs, whisk the egg and cook in the skillet, stirring gently.
Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for best creaminess.
