Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency—chunky or smooth.
Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado, and mix well to combine. Set aside.
Fill a medium saucepan with water, about halfway, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar to the simmering water.
Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure the yolk stays intact.
Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon. Carefully slide the egg from the bowl into the center of the whirlpool, allowing the swirling water to help wrap the egg white around the yolk.
Let the egg poach for 3-4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and let it drain on a paper towel. Repeat the process with the second egg.
Meanwhile, toast the slices of whole grain bread to your desired level of doneness.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly over each piece of toasted bread.
Top each toast with a poached egg. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious avocado toast with poached egg.
