Notes
How to pit an avocado: To remove an avocado pit, place the half with the pit in it on a hard surface and give the pit a fairly strong but controlled whack with a chef's knife to lodge the blade partway into the pit. Then, hold the avocado in one hand as you turn the knife with the other to loosen and remove the pit.
Storage: This avocado toast with egg recipe is best when consumed immediately. If you need to save it (up to 24 hours in the fridge), you should remove and rewarm the egg separately over low heat on the stove or in the microwave.
