Ingredients
- 2 slices multigrain bread toasted
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha hot sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon butter olive oil can also be used
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup avocado (about 1/2 of a small avocado)
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 teaspoon red onion finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon lime juice from a small wedge
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise (1 tablespoon) and Sriracha (1/2 teaspoon) together. Set aside.
- Melt the butter (1/2 tablespoon) in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Crack the egg carefully into the pan so the yolk doesn't break (see notes). Turn the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet, cooking the egg for about 2 minutes, or until whites are set and yolk is done to the desired consistency.
- Meanwhile, spread the Sriracha mayo mixture on the two slices of toasted bread.
- Using a spoon, scoop the avocado from the peel and add to one slice of bread. Use a fork to mash the avocado evenly onto the bread.
- Squeeze the lime juice (from 1 wedge) on top of the avocado and top with kosher salt to taste.
- Place the egg on top of the avocado.
- Sprinkle the cilantro (1 teaspoon) and red onion (1 teaspoon) on top of the egg. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place the other piece of bread on top of the assembled sandwich.
- Eat! With a napkin- it gets messy.

- Don't be too concerned about the measured amount of ingredients for this recipe- it's just a sandwich. Add as much mayo, Sriracha, or cilantro as you want!
- Don't like a runny yolk? Break the yolk as you fry it, and cook until solid if you prefer.
