What is the best bread for this kimchi avocado toast?
I usually opt for sprouted whole grain bread when making avocado toast, given its abundance of nutrients and minimal processing. However, there are various other delightful bread choices available. Sourdough bread adds a tangy note that complements the kimchi and offers probiotic benefits. Multigrain bread brings diverse flavors and textures, while gluten-free bread suits those with specific dietary needs. If you prefer a classic approach, white bread can also be used.

This recipe offers flexibility to accommodate your preferences. You have various options for cooking the egg to perfection. Apart from soft boiling, consider techniques like poaching, hard-boiling, scrambling, or even frying.
