Avocado Egg Rice Cakes

What you need

• 4 plain rice cakes
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

The easy way

1. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Crack eggs into the skillet and fry to desired doneness; season with salt and garlic powder during cooking.
3. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt.
4. Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto each rice cake.
5. Top each cake with a fried egg and sprinkle with fresh chives.
6. Serve immediately; if prepping ahead, store components separately and assemble just before eating.

Use your senses. Times are guardrails. Look for the color, texture, and doneness cues in the steps, and refrigerate perishable leftovers promptly.
