### **Ingredients**:
– **1 ripe avocado**: The base of the toast, packed with healthy fats and vitamins.
– **2 slices of whole-grain bread**: Provides fiber and long-lasting energy.
– **1 boiled egg**: Packed with protein, this will make your toast more filling.
– **1 tablespoon of chia seeds**: These tiny seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.
– **Lemon zest and juice**: For a zesty freshness that brings the dish to life.
– **Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley)**: Adds color and nutrients.
– **A pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper**: For seasoning.
– **Red pepper flakes or chili flakes**: To add a little spice and kick to the dish.
### **Instructions**:
1. **Toast the Bread**: Start by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness. Whole-grain bread provides fiber, which helps keep you full longer and provides a steady release of energy throughout the day.
2. **Mash the Avocado**: While the bread is toasting, scoop the flesh of the ripe avocado into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash it, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. The avocado is full of monounsaturated fats that help boost your brain function and support heart health.
3. **Boil the Egg**: In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, gently add the egg and cook it for about 8-10 minutes to achieve a hard-boiled consistency. Once cooked, peel the egg and slice it.
4. **Assemble the Toast**: Once your bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado generously onto the slices. Add the boiled egg slices on top for added protein.
5. **Add the Toppings**: Sprinkle chia seeds over the avocado toast for a dose of healthy fats and fiber. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top, and add some zest for extra zing. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for color and added antioxidants.
6. **Finish with a Dash of Spice**: Add red pepper flakes or chili flakes to give your dish a slight kick, making it more exciting and vibrant.
### **Serve and Enjoy**:
Now you’ve got an energizing, life-affirming dish that’s packed with nutrients, flavor, and freshness. Whether you’re having it for breakfast or as a snack, this avocado toast is not just delicious—it’s alive with vitality.
