Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 cup cooked corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Dice the avocado and cherry tomatoes, and cook the corn if using fresh or frozen kernels.
- Cook the eggs: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness). Remove from heat and set aside.
- Mix the avocado and corn: In a medium bowl, combine the diced avocado, cooked corn, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro. Add the ground cumin, salt, pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Gently toss to combine.
- Assemble the dish: Divide the avocado and corn mixture between two plates. Top each plate with a cooked egg.
- Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish before serving for a zesty finish. Enjoy immediately!
Serving and Storage Tips
This dish is best served fresh, but you can prepare the avocado and corn mixture ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Cook the eggs just before serving for the best flavor and texture.
Variations
- Add protein: Top with crumbled bacon, smoked salmon, or grilled chicken for extra protein.
- Cheesy twist: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or crumbled feta cheese over the dish.
- Spicy version: Add diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Tips
- Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor, but frozen or canned corn works well in a pinch.
