# What You’ll Need to Cook:
01 -
1 whole grain bagel
02 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
1 small ripe Hass avocado
05 -
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
06 -
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
07 -
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
08 -
Chopped fresh herbs: cilantro, parsley, chives
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Slice bagel in half. If the hole is very small, use a tool like a cookie cutter to enlarge it. Lightly spread the cut sides of the bagel with butter.
02 -
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
03 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium and place the bagel, butter-side down, in the skillet. Toast until golden, then flip and place on a plate, toasted side up.
04 -
Spread the toasted sides of the bagel with mashed avocado and return the bagel to the skillet, avocado-side up.
05 -
Crack an egg in the center of the bagel hole. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg is set, about 3 minutes for medium-soft yolks. Use a lid or a sheet pan to trap heat.
06 -
Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with chopped fresh herbs, and enjoy immediately.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For easier egg transfer, crack the egg in a small bowl before adding it to the bagel hole.
