Chili Garlic Crunch (Chili Crisp) Fried Eggs on Avocado Toast
Ingredients
For Chili Crunch Fried Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) chili crunch with some of the oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) extra oil or butter , if needed (optional)
- 2 large eggs
For Avocado Toast
- 2 slices toasted bread
- 2 Tablespoons pate , optional
- 1 small avocado , ripened to your liking
For Homemade Chili Crunch (makes about 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) oil
- 6 cloves fresh garlic , minced or sliced
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) red chili flakes
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) dried minced garlic
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) dried chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) sugar , or to taste
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt , if using table salt, use a little less
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cayenne (optional to taste)
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) soy sauce
Instructions
Prep Avocado Toast
- Toast the bread to your liking. If you like, spread some pate on the toasted bread.
- Cut the avocado into slices or scoop out chunks. (This is how we often slice – cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Twist the halves apart. Cut the halves again lengthwise to make quarters and twist to separate. Now remove the seed from the quarter which has the seed. Slice the avocado into your preferred thickness of slices, trying not to cut through the skin. Then peel the skin away.)
Chili Garlic Crunch Fried Egg Instructions
- Heat a saute pan on medium-high heat. If your chili crunch is the drier style add the 1 teaspoon (5ml) of oil or butter to the pan then add the 1 Tablespoon (15ml) of chili crunch, otherwise just add the chili crunch with its oil to the pan.
- As soon as you have added the chili crunch to the pan, immediately crack the eggs on over the top. If you wait too long to add the eggs, the chili oil aromatics will burn and will be like mace. If the chili crunch overheats and smokes, turn on your vent hood or fan for good ventilation. Or open up your windows. Prep tip: you can always crack the eggs ahead of time, each in their own individual bowl. It is a little more clean up, but less rushed when cooking and you don’t have to worry about stray egg shells getting into the pan.
- As eggs are cooking, spoon some of the hot chili crunch and oil that is in the pan over the eggs so the chili crunch can cook into the top.
- Fry the eggs until edges are crispy and center whites are set. If you want the eggs to set faster, cover with a lid when able to while cooking.
- Top the toast with the avocado, then top with the chili crunch fried egg. Add extra chili crunch if desired.
Homemade Chili Garlic Crunch Instructions (Batch Instructions)
- Mince or slice the garlic to your preferred size (it doesn't really matter how big or small it is, just how much of a garlic bite you want).
- Heat the 1/2 cup (120ml) of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook about 1 minute or until lightly golden.
- Immediately remove from heat (the garlic will continue to cook a little in the pan. You want it to be just a light golden brown. Don't let the garlic burn or else it will become bitter).
- Stir in rest of the ingredients (2 Tablespoons (30ml) red chili flakes, 2 Tablespoons (30ml) dried minced garlic, 2 Tablespoons (30ml) dried chopped onion, 2 teaspoons (10ml) sugar, 1 teaspoon (5ml) toasted sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon (5ml) salt, 1 teaspoon (5ml) smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon (5ml) optional cayenne, and 2 teaspoons (10ml) of soy sauce).
- Taste for flavor and adjust to your liking. Cool completely. After cooled, store in a mason jar or similar. Stir well before using.
