French toast with avocado, eggs and hard cheese

These french toasts are a great idea for a relaxed brunch or a light lunch. Crispy wholegrain bread, a soft avocado cream, eggs and flakes of hard cheese combine very harmoniously. The recipe is simple and quick: lightly toast the bread, cook the eggs and assemble the toasts with minimal fuss. Best enjoyed right after preparation.

Ingredients

• 8 slices wholegrain sliced bread
• 3 small ripe avocados
• 1 lime
• 4 eggs
• 10 g butter
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• hard cheese, in flakes or thin shavings — to taste
• salt — to taste
• black pepper — to taste

Preparation

1. Spread the bread slices with butter on both sides. Toast them in a dry non-stick frying pan for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.

   

2. Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs: 8 minutes from the moment the water boils. Transfer to cold water, cool, peel and cut into wedges. Halve the avocados, remove the stones, peel and mash the flesh with a fork. Add lime juice, olive oil, salt and black pepper, and mix until smooth and creamy.

   

3. Assemble the toasts: spread the avocado cream over 4 slices of bread, top with the egg wedges, add flakes of hard cheese and a little black pepper. Cover with the remaining slices and serve immediately.

   

Notes

💛 Choose soft ripe avocados so the cream turns out silky.

💛 For a more pronounced flavor, add a little extra lime juice before serving.

💛 Serve the toasts right away while the bread remains crispy.
