Quick & Easy Breakfast, Brought to You by AI… and Avocados

Let me set the scene: it’s a slightly chaotic weekday morning, my coffee’s gone cold for the third time, and my stomach is sending me aggressive notifications like, “HELLO?? Feed me?” So, I turned to my favorite know-it-all assistant (hi, robot chef!) and typed in:
“quick and easy breakfast recipe.”

Now, I don’t know what I expected — maybe a magical breakfast burrito or a croissant that makes itself — but the recipe I got was… drumroll, please…
Avocado Egg Toast.
Yup. The trendy toast that’s been on café menus and brunch Instagrams since approximately 2015. Honestly, I chuckled. I was looking for innovation, but hey — the classics are classics for a reason.

The Recipe Breakdown

Avocado Egg Toast

Servings: 1
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 7–10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 slice of bread (your choice — sourdough, whole wheat, etc.)
• ½ ripe avocado
• 1 egg
• Salt & pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning (optional)
• Olive oil or butter (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread
   Pop your bread in the toaster until golden and crisp.
2. Mash the Avocado
   While the bread is toasting, mash half an avocado in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Egg
   In a small pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil or butter. Crack the egg and cook it how you like — fried, scrambled, or even poached if you’re feeling fancy.
4. Assemble
   Spread the mashed avocado onto your toast. Top with the cooked egg.
5. Finish & Serve
   Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor. Eat immediately!

This one’s got all the hits:

• Bread? ✔️
• Avocado? ✔️
• Egg? ✔️

No complicated steps, no exotic ingredients (thank you, pantry staples!), and no unexpected machinery like a blowtorch or immersion blender required. I fried my egg, because it’s fast and gives you that glorious runny yolk moment. But my recipe robot pal said you can make the egg however you like: poached, scrambled, soft-boiled, interpretive dance — it’s your call.

The Experience

It took all of 7 minutes from pantry to plate. Toast goes in. Avocado gets mashed (a fork is fine, don’t overthink it). Egg goes in a pan. Toast comes out. You assemble, sprinkle a little something on top (red pepper flakes if you’re feeling zesty, everything bagel seasoning if you’re feeling cool), and boom — breakfast.

Cleanup? Practically nonexistent. A cutting board, one pan, a fork, and a plate. That’s it. My kitchen barely noticed anything happened. It was like a breakfast ghost made it and vanished. Beautiful.

The Verdict

Okay, yes — this recipe isn’t breaking culinary ground, but it ticks every box:
✅ Quick
✅ Easy
✅ Tasty
✅ Healthy
✅ Filling

I’ll admit, it kind of reignited something in me. Eating it made me think, “What if I took this up a notch? What if… I made my own bread?” Cue dramatic music and visions of sourdough starters bubbling on my counter like a tiny, yeasty science project.

So maybe that’s my next move. Avocado toast today. Artisan bread enthusiast tomorrow.

TL;DR

If you’re hungry, slightly lazy, and want something that feels fancy but takes zero brainpower, this is your recipe. No shame in being basic when the food is this good. Plus, your stomach (and your AI assistant) will thank you.
