Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 egg
- 1 slice of bread
Spreads and Sauces:
- 1 teaspoon pesto
- ¼ (0.25) ripe avocado
Seasonings:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat water in a saucepan to a rolling boil, creating a gentle bubbling environment for cooking the egg with precision. Gently lower the egg into the swirling water using a slotted spoon, ensuring a controlled descent.
- Monitor the egg’s cooking process for exactly 7 minutes, maintaining a consistent water temperature that allows for a perfectly textured jammy center. The precise timing is crucial for achieving that sought-after soft, creamy yolk.
- Transfer the cooked egg to an ice bath immediately, creating a shocking temperature change that halts the cooking process. Allow the egg to rest in the cold water for approximately two minutes, facilitating easy shell removal.
- Meticulously peel the egg, removing the shell with care to preserve the delicate, silky exterior of the jammy egg underneath.
- Transform the bread slice into a golden, crisp canvas by toasting it to a rich, appetizing brown color that provides a satisfying crunch.
- Spread the ripe avocado across the toast’s surface, creating a smooth, creamy layer that serves as a luxurious foundation for the upcoming toppings.
- Artfully arrange the quartered egg atop the avocado-covered toast, positioning the pieces to showcase the tantalizingly soft yolk.
- Sprinkle a delicate layer of salt and freshly ground black pepper, enhancing the natural flavors of the egg and avocado with subtle seasoning.
- Drizzle pesto across the toast, allowing the herbaceous sauce to weave between the egg and avocado, introducing a vibrant, aromatic finish to the dish.
- Serve the toast immediately, capturing the perfect moment when the warm egg meets the creamy avocado and zesty pesto.
Notes
- Keeping eggs at room temperature prevents cracking when boiling and ensures even cooking throughout.
- Selecting ripe avocados with a slight give ensures creamy, smooth spreading without lumps on toast.
- Homemade or store-bought pesto works wonderfully, offering fresh herbal notes that elevate the entire dish’s flavor profile.
