The Deets

Here’s a fun and easy recipe perfect for a lazy Sunday morning: avocado toast topped with crumbled Cotija cheese and a truffle chili fried egg. It’s a simple, satisfying dish that comes together in no time but feels like an indulgent treat. I’m a huge fan of adding an egg to avocado toast, and trust me, the truffle chili really takes it to the next level. The rich, earthy flavor of truffle paired with the subtle heat from the chili makes every bite irresistible. I got my truffle chili seasoning from MonoFuku, and it never disappoints. It adds just the right amount of depth to the dish without being overpowering.

To put it all together, start with a perfectly ripe avocado, mash it with a little salt and pepper, and spread it generously on a thick slice of toasted sourdough bread. Top it with crumbled Cotija cheese for a salty, tangy contrast that complements the creamy avocado. Then, fry up your egg in a bit of olive oil until the whites are crispy and the yolk is still runny, and sprinkle the truffle chili seasoning on top as it cooks. Once the egg is ready, place it on top of your avocado toast and finish with an extra pinch of truffle chili for that final flavor boost. There you have it—a delicious, elevated avocado toast that’s perfect for a relaxing weekend breakfast. If you enjoy this recipe, be sure to check out more of my fun and easy breakfast ideas here!
