[Recipe] "Good Mornin'" Avocado Egg in a Hole Toast

Mornings are hard.  I get it.  You might oversleep, or maybe you had to work late (or maybe you partied late), and the last thing you want to do when you get up is cook.  But what if I told you I have a 5-10 minute recipe for a breakfast as good as any you might get in the depths of Brooklyn or in sunny California?
Disclaimer:  Here I am assuming you like avocado.  Because duh.

Soundtrack - Good Mornin'
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
It's great to stay up late
(Sunbeams will soon shine through)

Good mornin'
Good mornin' to you

Side Note:  How amazing is Singin' in the Rain?  As a little girl, I crushed on Gene Kelly and Gregory Peck while my friends swooned over Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

"Good Mornin'" Avocado Egg in a Hole Toast
an original recipe by tammiest (The Passionfruit Fashionista)

Ingredients
1 slice whole-grain bread
1 avocado
1 large egg
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Hot sauce (optional)


Directions
1.  Mash the avocado in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Add a dash of hot sauce for kickalso to taste.
2.  Using a small round cookie cutter or other mold, cut a small circle (or heart or whatever other shape you desire) from the middle of your slice of toast.  Heat a small non-stick skillet with a small amount of oil in it over low heat.  Place the slice of bread in the skillet and heat for about 30 seconds, then flip.
3.  Crack an egg into the hole in the center of your toast.  Season with salt and pepper.  Wait until the egg whites begin to firm up and turn opaque, then flip the entire piece of toast with the egg in the center.  Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, then either remove from heat or turn off the heat, keeping the skillet over the burner.
4.  Spread the avocado mixture on the toast around the egg.


5.  If you don't want to cut a hole in your toast, of course you don't need to.  The avocado spread will work on toast alone, or you can separately cook your eggs however you want (sunny side-up, scrambled, etc.) and top.  Note also that one avocado will definitely be enough for two or three of these, so if you refrigerate the rest, breakfast the next day will be even easier!
