  • 2 Tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning (store‑bought or homemade mix of sesame, poppy, dried onion, garlic, salt)
  • 3 each Large Eggs (room temperature for even cooking)

  • Cover the pan while the eggs cook to steam the tops without over‑cooking the yolk.
  • Spread the guacamole while the toast is still warm for easier spreading.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns; keep hands away from the skillet.
  • Covering the pan creates steam; open the lid away from your face.
