Ingredients Needed
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (whole wheat or sourdough work well)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, fresh cilantro
Step By Step Making
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and firm.
- While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Scoop the flesh of the ripe avocado into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash gently with a fork until it’s chunky or smooth, depending on your preference.
- Poach the eggs. Fill a small saucepan with about two inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Carefully crack each egg into a separate small bowl or ramekin. Gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
- Remove the poached eggs from the water using a slotted spoon and let any excess water drain off.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Carefully place a poached egg on top of the avocado on each toast.
- Sprinkle with your favorite optional toppings like red pepper flakes for a little heat or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
