the yummiest avocado toast
avocado toast was really a moment in time wasn't it? a sun-shiny pre-pandemic mega trend for coffee shops, brunch spots and university students everywhere. and maybe it's time in the sun is over but it's still one of my favourite fancy-not-fancy breakfasts. after years of making this simple dish, i think i might have perfected it! to me the magic is in the mayonnaise (like most great sandwiches). it may seem counter intuitive - it took me years to discover it - but it makes all the difference.
let me know what you think!

*when it comes to the spice i usually only do one or the other - chillies or hotsauce. if using chilli flakes, I sprinkle them right on top of the egg. if using hot sauce i prefer to layer it between the avocado and the egg so it really seasons the avocado. my favourite is the cholula green pepper but my partner prefers classic tobasco. you do you!
