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

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and firm.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the poached eggs from the water using a slotted spoon and let any excess water drain off.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
  6. Carefully place a poached egg on top of the avocado on each toast.
  7. Sprinkle with your favorite optional toppings like red pepper flakes for a little heat or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
