Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat until bubbling. Stir in 2 cloves of freshly chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of chili flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
- Fill a pot with cold water and gently place in 4 large eggs. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and turn off the heat. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, then run under cold water to stop the cooking.
- Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into a bowl. Mix in 1 cup of finely shredded cheddar cheese, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Lightly mash the eggs for a creamy texture.
- Toast 2 slices of sourdough or whole grain bread until golden brown. Spread a layer of lightly mashed avocado on each slice, adding a touch of sea salt. Top with the cheesy egg mixture.
- Reheat the chili butter if needed, then drizzle it over the cheesy eggs, ensuring to include all the garlic and spice.
- Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Notes
Ensure eggs are hard-boiled but tender. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
