- Avocado: Will be the creamy spread.
- Lime: A spitz onto the avocado will give a nice zippy touch.
- Kimchi: Homemade or store-bought will work.
- Egg: Free-range and pasture-raised, preferably.

How to Make Avocado Toast
Step 1: Add the avocado, juice of the lime, and a pinch of salt. Mash until creamy.
Step 2: Add 1 tablespoon of kimchi juice to the mashed avocado. Mix to combine.
Step 3: Fry the egg.
Sunny up eggs: Start by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil into the skillet. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Over easy egg: In a greased heated skillet, crack the egg directly into the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Using a spatula, carefully flip the eggs and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 4: Toast the bread. Before the egg is finished, drop down the toast and cook to the desired crunchiness.
Building the Avocado Toast
- Place the piece of toast onto a serving plate.
- Spread and smear the avocado onto the toast using a fork to press into the nooks and crannies.
- Place kimchi right over the avocado.
- Top with an egg.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, Korean red pepper flakes (Gochugaru), fresh sprigs of cilantro, and more kimchi on the side.
Helpful tip: for a wholesome, filling breakfast, fry 2 eggs per serving, and add another slice of toast right on top for a Korean-inspired breakfast sandwich.
