01 Gather
Ingredients
Makes 2 generous servings
- ⅓ cup shredded sharp cheddar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp hot honey
- 1 tsp chili crisp
- 1 thick slice sourdough
- ½ avocado
- 1 tbsp chives
- Black pepper
02 Make
The good part
- 01
Toast sourdough and spread with sliced avocado.
- 02
Scatter cheddar in a nonstick skillet over medium low heat and drizzle with half the hot honey and chili crisp.
- 03
Crack eggs over the cheese, cover, and cook 3 to 5 minutes until whites are set and yolks suit you.
- 04
Slide the crisp edged cheese and eggs onto toast; finish with chives, pepper, and remaining hot honey.
03 Know before you cook
Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, or mozzarella can replace cheddar.
- Serve over a crispy potato cake or warm tortilla instead of sourdough.
Best eaten immediately. Cook eggs fresh; prepared avocado toast does not store well.
