With a creamy avocado spread on toasted bread, topped with perfectly cooked eggs, a spicy chili butter sauce, and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, this dish is a delicious, savory, and satisfying way to start your day.

Ingredients

For the Chili Butter:

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons salted butter

1 clove garlic, chopped

1–2 teaspoons chili flakes (depending on your heat preference)

1/2 teaspoon paprika

For the Eggs and Toast:

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

2 slices sourdough or whole grain bread, toasted

1 small avocado, mashed

Fresh herbs, like parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the chili butter: In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil and salted butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped garlic, chili flakes, and paprika. Stir the mixture for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and the chili flakes have infused the butter. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook the eggs: In a non-stick skillet, heat a little bit of oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your preferred level of doneness (sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled). Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Once the eggs are done, set them aside.
  3. Prepare the toast: Toast the slices of sourdough or whole grain bread until they are golden and crispy. While the bread is toasting, mash the avocado in a small bowl and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the toast: Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado on each slice of toast. Drizzle the chili butter sauce over the top of the avocado, allowing the spicy goodness to soak in.
  5. Add the eggs and cheese: Place the cooked eggs on top of the avocado toast. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and let it melt slightly. You can return the toast to the skillet briefly if you want the cheese to melt faster.
  6. Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an added burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Add more heat: If you like extra spice, increase the amount of chili flakes or add a dash of hot sauce to the chili butter.

Vegan option: Replace the eggs with tofu scrambled in a bit of olive oil and season it with turmeric and black salt to mimic scrambled eggs. Use vegan butter for the chili butter sauce and skip the cheese.

Cheese variations: Instead of cheddar, try feta, goat cheese, or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.

Add veggies: For a more filling meal, add some sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes on top of the avocado toast before adding the eggs.

Storage: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store the leftover chili butter sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Reheating: Reheat the chili butter sauce in the microwave or on the stovetop before using. The eggs and toast should be prepared fresh, as the texture will change when stored.
