Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower 1 large egg into the boiling water and cook for exactly 6 minutes for a soft-boiled egg with a set white and runny yolk. Remove egg and place in ice water for 2 minutes to stop cooking.
- Step 2: While egg cooks, split 1 English muffin in half and toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, mash 1/4 ripe avocado with 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until creamy.
- Step 4: Spread 1 tsp unsalted butter on each toasted English muffin half. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the bottom half.
- Step 5: Carefully peel the soft-boiled egg, slice it in half lengthwise, and place the halves on top of the avocado spread.
- Step 6: Close the sandwich with the top English muffin half and serve immediately while egg is warm.
