Bagel Egg in a Hole with Smashed Avocado

2 servings · 5 min prep · 10 min cook

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 whole grain bagel
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 small ripe Hass avocado
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• chopped fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, chives, etc.)

Steps

1. Slice bagel in half. If the hole is very small, tear out some of the center to make it larger or use a round cookie cutter, small juice glass, or biscuit cutter to cut a larger hole. Lightly spread the cut sides of the bagel with 1 tablespoon butter. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and add additional seasoning if desired.
2. For each bagel half: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium. Place the bagel in the skillet 1 tablespoon butter-side down. Let toast a few minutes until golden, then flip and place on a plate, toasted side up. Spread the cut side with mashed avocado. Return the bagel to the skillet, avocado-side up. Crack 1 egg in the center of the hole (for easier transfer, you can also crack the egg in a small bowl, then gently pour it into the hole), then cover the skillet and let cook until the egg is set, about 3 minutes for a medium-soft yolk (if your skillet does not have a lid, you can also place a sheet pan over the top—the idea is to trap heat to cook the egg more quickly). Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with any desired toppings. Enjoy immediately.
