I know it's been awhile since my last post, but I'm back! So, the main reason I'm posting this dish is that it looks neat, it's all colorful and fun looking. This is a really easy dish to make, it's not overly complicated and you can impresse all your friends and trick them into thinking you can actually cook by making a fancy looking dish, when in reality it's just a breakfast dish with some fancy tweaks.




The beans I used on the toast are actually dehydrated black bean, and to make them into a paste or a dip just add hot water. 4 parts dried beans to 3 parts water. I got mine from an Oregon company called Garden Valley Corporation here is a link if you'd like to peruse their dried legumes.


Spicy Fried Eggs with Avocado and Black Beans on Toast

  • 2 slices of toasted sourdough
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup black beans
  • 1/2 avocado sliced
  • hot sauce
  1. I recommend making your beans before anything else. 
  2. Toast the bread.
  3. Fry the eggs to your liking, salt and pepper to taste. I prefer to having the yolk just a little runny that way I can mop it with the ends of the toast. 
  4. Spread the beans on the toast, then the eggs, sliced avocado, and top it off with a drizzling of hot sauce of your choice, I used Sriracha, because it's delicious.


This is a very simple dish to make, it looks fancy, and it's packed with protein. Even though I made it for dinner, it's a perfect brunch dish. Next post is going to be fried quinoa!
