Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until slightly caramelized and softened, stirring occasionally.
  2. Step 2: Whisk 4 large eggs with 2 tbsp whole milk, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper in a bowl until fully combined. Pour into the skillet with tomatoes, stirring gently with a silicone spatula until softly set with glossy edges (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Step 3: While eggs cook, toast 2 slices sourdough bread until golden. Slice 1 ripe avocado in half, remove pit, and scoop flesh onto toast. Top with 2 tbsp fresh basil and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
