Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water and add the white vinegar. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. This helps to gently slide the egg into the water.
Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring with a spoon. Carefully slide the first egg into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the second egg, making sure they have enough space to cook without touching.
Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5 minutes for a firmer yolk.
While the eggs are poaching, place the slices of whole grain bread in a toaster and toast until golden brown.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and mash until smooth.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Spread a layer of mashed avocado across each slice of toasted bread.
Using a slotted spoon, gently remove the poached eggs from the water, allowing them to drain, then place one poached egg on top of each slice of toast.
Top with halved cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil over the top before serving.
