Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.

  2. 2

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork until desired consistency is reached.

  3. 3

    For the poached eggs, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add white vinegar.

  4. 4

    Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the eggs in, one at a time.

  5. 5

    Cook for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain excess water.

  6. 6

    Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toast slices. Top each with a poached egg.

  7. 7

    Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Chef's Tips

  • For the perfect poached egg, use the freshest eggs possible and strain excess egg white through a fine mesh sieve before poaching.
  • Add toppings like crumbled feta, microgreens, or sliced radishes for extra flavor and texture.
  • To prevent the avocado from browning, prepare it just before serving or add a bit more lemon juice.
