Egg on Tomato Avocado and Basil

If you want simple, fresh and delicious, this is for you.  I have a wee addiction to this ridiculously easy recipe.  I had an abundance of fresh organic tomatoes and Basil from the Farmers Market and a big beautiful Haas Avocado.  The first day I made this and tossed it on a piece of toasted Rye bread....the next day I left the bread out.  Equally amazing.  This is addictive, I warn you.  Breakfast, lunch or a light dinner, I can see this making an appearance on my table as often as I can get the freshest ingredients.
For the egg, either poach it or use a small amount of olive oil instead of butter to cook it.  Butter will make it feel to heavy.  Get the freshest tomatoes and basil possible and all you'll need is a smattering of salt and pepper to finish this off.
p.s. I took the photo with my phone so I apologize if it's a bit grainy. 



Egg on Tomato Avocado and Basil

Serves 1

1 tsp olive oil
1 Egg
3 slices of ripe Tomato
1-2 large whole Basil Leaves
1/4 Haas Avocado, sliced
Salt and Pepper
Grilled or Toasted Bread (optional)

Cook the egg by either poaching or frying and seasoning lightly.  Meanwhile, layer the sliced tomato, then the basil and finally the avocado.  Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and top with the egg.  Alternatively, put all the ingredients on a piece of grilled or toasted bread.
