1 tablespoon butter
1 clove garlic, minced
a tablespoon of soy sauce

Cook for 1 additional minute and remove them from the heat.

3. White Bean Avocado Toast
Beans are the perfect protein for both meat-eaters and vegetarians. Adding beans to your avocado toast gives a slight English vibe, since beans on toast is a popular breakfast across the pond. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
¼ cup canned white beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon olive oil
a pinch dried Herbes de Provence
1 pinch salt
Directions:
Warm your beans in a small pan with the olive oil. Once hot, add the herbs and salt.
Remove from the heat and top your avocado toast with the beans. Serve warm.
4. Jammy Egg Avocado Toast
What’s better than a perfectly jammy yolk in a hard-boiled egg? Not much! Spice up your avocado toast with a perfectly cooked egg, every single time. Use this method:
Ingredients:
2 farm-fresh eggs
Water, for boiling
Pinch of salt and black pepper
Directions:
Add 2 cups of water to a small saucepan. Gently lower the eggs into the water without breaking them.
Bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils, set your timer for exactly 5 minutes.
Once the timer is up, drain the eggs. Crack the flattest side on a firm surface and place the eggs in a bowl of ice water. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes in the cold water.
Peel your eggs carefully. Slice in half and serve each egg on a serving of avocado toast. Top the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Mediterranean Avocado Toast
Olives and feta are a standard in the Mediterranean diet. They also work perfectly on top of avocado toast! Bring some life to your breakfast using this method:
Ingredients:
¼ cup kalamata olives, chopped lightly
3 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
