Ingredients
Scale
For the Green Sauce:
- 1 bunch (about 3 cups, 3 ounces fresh parsley, cilantro, arugula, mustard greens, or a mix (roughly chopped))
- 1 small bunch chives (about 1 ounce, roughly chopped)
- Juice of 1 lemon or lime (approximately 2 tablespoons, with additional juice to taste.)
- 1 clove garlic (peeled)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 cup avocado
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
For the Eggs + Toast:
- Eggs (as many as you need)
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Good-quality bread (sliced thickly)
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Make the green sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, arugula, mustard greens, or your preferred mix), chives, lemon or lime juice, garlic, olive oil, avocado, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon/lime juice, as desired.
- Cook the eggs: Heat a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook your eggs to your preference (fried, poached, or scrambled), seasoning with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Toast the bread: While the eggs are cooking, toast thick slices of your favorite bread until golden and crispy. Drizzle the toast with extra-virgin olive oil for added richness.
- Assemble and serve: Spread a generous amount of the green sauce over the toasted bread. Top with the cooked eggs and an additional drizzle of olive oil if desired. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt for extra flavor and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: Store the green sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before using, as the oil may separate.
- Freezing: Pour the sauce into an ice cube tray, freeze, and store in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
- Customization: Use basil, mint, or dill instead of (or in addition to) the listed herbs for a different flavor profile.
- Pairing Ideas: Serve this sauce with grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or even pasta for a fresh, herby boost.
