Not sure why I would ever eat anything else for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Oh my! Soft Boiled Egg Salad with Avocado Toast Eggs Light Mayo Dijon Mustard Chives, chopped Avocado Lemon juice Sriracha Salt Pepper Crusty bread Boil eggs for 6-7 minutes. Take out and put in cold water. Mix a little mayo and mustard with chives and S&P. (Because the eggs are soft you don’t need much mayo and mustard). Chop eggs and add mayo mixture. Slice bread and top with avocado, a big squeeze of lemon juice, and S&P. Top avocado with eggs and top with chives and more S&P.
