Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by preparing the tomato relish. In a small bowl, combine the quartered cherry tomatoes with a pinch of salt and the olive oil. Stir until the tomatoes are well-coated. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This resting period helps enhance the tomato's natural flavors and creates a juicy, flavorful relish.
2. 2.
   While the relish rests, toast the slice of whole grain bread to your desired level of crispness. A golden-brown color is ideal, as it will provide a perfect crunchy contrast to the creamy avocado and juicy tomatoes. If you find your toast burning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly to ensure an even toasting.
3. 3.
   In a nonstick pan over medium heat, add a small amount of olive oil or butter if desired for additional flavor. Crack the egg into the pan and cook until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft and runny, about 3 to 4 minutes. For a firmer yolk, you may cook the egg longer or gently flip it to cook both sides, aiming for a golden and crispy underside.
4. 4.
   While the egg cooks, mash the ripe avocado in a small bowl using a fork. Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread, ensuring an even layer from edge to edge. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mashing the avocado just before serving helps maintain its vibrant green color and fresh taste.
5. 5.
   To assemble, place the perfectly cooked egg on top of the avocado-topped toast. Spoon the tomato relish over and around the egg, allowing the juices to soak into the toast. For extra flavor, drizzle any leftover olive oil from the relish on top and serve immediately. Enjoy this dish while it’s warm to fully appreciate the contrast of textures and flavors.
