Avocado Toast with Fried Egg, Olives, and Paprika

Taking a cue from Spanish cuisine, this toast brings together the mellow, buttery California Green Ripe Olives and spicy-sweet peppadew peppers with creamy avocado.

Mild peppadew peppers are slightly pickled and only a little bit hot. Look for them in jars or in bulk at the salad bar at your grocery store. You could also use sliced jalapenos from a jar if you want to really spice it up.

Also look for green ripe olives from California in particular. These olives are milder in flavor than other varieties and have a firm, meaty texture that works well with the crunchy peppadews and the creamy avocado.

Top it with a fried egg and a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and breakfast is served!

Avocado Toasts With Fried Egg, Olives, and Smoked Paprika

Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 5 mins
Total Time 15 mins
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 slices hearty whole grain, artisan-style bread, or another bread of your choice

  • 2 ripe avocados, halved, pit removed, and sliced

  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 4 lemon wedges

  • 1/4 cup sliced green olives

  • 1/4 cup sliced mild peppadew peppers (or substitute sliced roasted red peppers)

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 4 large eggs

  • Smoked paprika, for garnish

Method

  1. Toast the bread:

    In a toaster, toast the bread until golden brown, or to the desired doneness.

  2. Add the toppings:

    Top each piece of toast with slices of avocado (left in slices or mashed with a fork), then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    Squeeze a lemon wedge over each avocado toast. Arrange the sliced olives and peppadews on top.

  3. Fry the eggs:

    In a skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Break the eggs into the skillet, and cover the pan.

    Cook for 2 minutes, or until all but a thin rim of egg white around each yolk is opaque. Remove the pan from the heat, keep covered, and let sit for about 30 seconds to finish cooking.

    Use a thin spatula to transfer the eggs from the skillet and top each of the avocado toasts. Sprinkle with a few pinches of smoked paprika.

  4. Serve:

    Serve the toasts immediately.
