Ingredients
Instructions
Toast the bread (I like it crunchy both for the texture and ease of eating by hand), and then spread with the avocado. (I lightly mash it with a fork, but you can slice it if preferred).
Spread the minced egg evenly over the avocado, sprinkle with salt, pepper and any optional extras. You may prefer to place some of the optional toppings, like the tomato or smoked salmon, under the egg instead of on top.
*If you happen to have an egg slicer, you can make quick work of mincing an egg by slicing it once, turning 90 degrees and slicing again. For an extra fine mince, you can carefully rotate the egg 90 degrees from bottom to top and slice on more time.
