Yield: 2 servings
Prep: 5 min
Cook: 5 min

Ingredients

  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
  • 1 whole grain bagel, split
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 small eggs
  • Optional: Minced fresh cilantro, parsley or chives

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mash avocado; stir in salt, pepper and, if desired, pepper flakes.
  2. Using a paring knife or round cutter, enlarge center hole at least 1-1/2 in. wide. Spread butter on cut side of bagel. Place bagel, butter sides down, in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes; remove to plate. Spread avocado mixture over browned sides, building up outside edge slightly.
