Avocado Toast with Quail Eggs & Prosciutto
Delicious and easy avocado toast topped with sunny-side-up quail eggs, prosciutto and capers!
Ingredients
For Avocado Spread:
- 2 large, ripe avocados
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 garlic cloves, very finely minced or pressed
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- splash of lime juice, to preserve color
For Topping:
- 12 slices prosciutto
- 12 quail eggs
- 2 tablespoons capers
- chives for garnish
- 12 slices toasted fresh baguette
Instructions
- Prepare the avocado spread first! Place the avocado into a large mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon or lime juice, salt and a touch of dill. Mash the avocado with a large fork until the mixture is smooth, then set it aside.
- Next, prepare the bread. Slice the bread on the diagonal for longer pieces. I like to spread the bread onto a baking sheet and toast it in the oven under the broiler.
- Time for the quail eggs! Preheat a frying pan with a little bit of oil and drop in the quail eggs. The easiest way to crack them open is to use kitchen shears. Frying on one side only for that sunny-side-up finish!
- Assembling the toast: once the eggs are done, spread the avocado toast onto the toasted bread and top with sliced prosciutto and capers. Drop a quail egg on top and garnish with fresh chives.
- Enjoy right away!
