Avocado Toast with Fried Egg

Avocado toast has gone from trend to classic, but it never gets old as a quick weeknight meal. This version, topped with a fried egg for a protein-rich vegetarian dinner, was reviewed as being quick and easy when we first featured it in 2016.
Smarts: Za'atar adds a great final layer of flavor if you're looking to mix things up!
