fried egg on toast

A fried egg on toast is a simple, satisfying classic — perfect for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner. Here’s how to make it just right:

🍳 Fried Egg on Toast

Ingredients:

• 1–2 large eggs

• 1–2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole wheat, white, etc.)

• Butter or oil (for frying and spreading)

• Salt & pepper

• (Optional): avocado, cheese, hot sauce, herbs, or sautéed greens

Instructions:

1. Toast the bread:

   • Toast your bread to your preferred level of crispiness.

   • Optionally, spread a bit of butter on top while it’s hot.

2. Fry the egg:

   • Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.

   • Add a little butter or oil (about 1 tsp).

   • Crack the egg into the pan. Cook sunny-side up (don’t flip) or over-easy/medium/hard if you prefer the yolk cooked more.

   • Season with salt and pepper.

   • Cook for 2–3 minutes for runny yolk, longer for firmer yolk.

3. Assemble:

   • Place the fried egg on top of the toast.

   • Add any extras you like: mashed avocado, grated cheese, chili flakes, a squeeze of lemon, or a drizzle of hot sauce.

🔄 Variations:

• Avocado Egg Toast: Smash avocado on toast before adding the egg.

• Cheesy Toast: Add a slice of cheese to toast while hot, let it melt, then top with the egg.

• Greens: Sauté spinach or kale and layer it between toast and egg.
