METHOD · 4 STEPS

boil · ~8 min
Boil the eggs.
1.Place eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
2.Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat.
3.Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let eggs sit for exactly 7 minutes for a jammy yolk.
4.Transfer eggs to an ice bath and let cool for 1 minute before peeling.
TIPThe ice bath stops the cooking instantly—skip it and you'll get a chalky yolk.
prep · ~3 min
Toast the bread and mash the avocado.
1.Toast both slices of whole wheat bread until golden and crisp.
2.Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl.
3.Add cottage cheese, lemon juice, salt, and 1 pinch of black pepper.
4.Mash with a fork until combined but still slightly chunky.
TIPLeave some texture—smooth avocado toast is boring. A few small chunks add character.
assemble · ~2 min
Assemble the avocado toast.
1.Spread half the avocado-cottage cheese mixture onto each slice of toast.
2.Peel the eggs, slice each one in half, and place 2 halves on each toast.
3.Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with hemp seeds, red pepper flakes, and remaining black pepper.
serve
Serve immediately while toast is crisp and eggs are warm.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

7 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest mash.
2
For a perfect jammy yolk, immediately transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath to halt cooking.
3
Toast the bread until deeply golden; a sturdy slice prevents sogginess from the mash.
4
Mash the avocado-cottage cheese mixture with a fork, leaving small chunks for pleasant texture.
5
Peel eggs under running cold water to easily remove the shell without tearing the white.
6
Add hemp seeds just before serving to keep their nutty crunch and nutritional value intact.
7
If making ahead, store the avocado mash with a layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning.
