I love my Smashed Avocado Toast, but I needed to switch things up a bit. Here is my hot, new alternative that will spice up your morning and your metabolism. Meet chili oiled fried egg toast, a recipe with just enough heat (and heft) to keep you satisfied well into lunchtime.
This recipe uses a trick to infuse your breakfast with plenty of flavor without overloading the fat. Instead of turning to the chili oil you see in grocery store aisles, you’ll make your own right there in the pan using nonstick cooking spray and red chili flakes (also called crushed red pepper flakes).
You’ll also find some of the things you loved about avocado toast in this recipe: perfectly crispy bread, gooey egg yolk, and a satisfying, savory meal that’s ready in just minutes.
Try it out!
Chili Oil Fried Egg Toast Ingredients
1 slice whole-grain sprouted bread
1 cup mushrooms
2 stalks green onion
Nonstick cooking spray
½ tsp. onion powder
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 dash sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 large eggs
¼ tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
I am not exaggerating when I say this quick and easy meal packs serious flavor. The mushrooms absorb the onion and garlic powder while the eggs get a splash of umami from soy sauce and simmer in chili-infused oil. BUT, the bold flavors vibe together, I promise!
Try out sprouted bread if you can. It may take a little extra hunting at the grocery store, but you’ll get extra protein and fiber from this type of bread compared to your conventional bread.
Pair that extra fiber with two eggs, and you have a recipe for satisfaction. One study even found that eating two eggs for breakfast lowered levels of ghrelin, our hunger hormone, and increased satiety in participants more than a bowl of oatmeal.
Aside from all the nutrients, it’s the flavor that’s the true winner here. You won't be disappointed!
