How to make Chili Oil
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add the chili flakes, chili powder, garlic, sesame seeds and salt to a large heat-safe/microwave-safe bowl, arranging the ingredients side by side.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully pour it over the bowl and allow it to sizzle. Use any small metal utensil to mix well to combine. Adjust seasonings to taste. (To store: Allow to cool completely before transferring to a glass jar with lid and store in the fridge.)
Fry the eggs
- Lightly drizzle some avocado oil on the bread. Toast in a nonstick skillet on low / low medium until golden and crunchy (or to your desired doneness) on both sides.
- Remove from the pan and spread with a little bit of butter. Slice the avocado into slices and add evenly on top, fanning it out to cover the toast.
- Use a ladle to add 2-3 tsp of the chili oil (or more as needed) into a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Gently crack an egg into the pan and season with salt and black pepper. Fry until the edges are golden and the whites are puffy and bubbly. Tilt the pan on an angle and use a teaspoon to scoop up the oil to pour over the whites to ensure that they are fully cooked.
- Remove from heat and use a spatula to carefully remove the egg from the pan and add it on top of the avocado toast.
- Drizzle with a little bit more of the chili oil then top with the fresh basil.
- Cut into half and enjoy.
