Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 slice Low-carb bread
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Butter or olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 whole Avocado (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the white vinegar to the simmering water. This helps the egg white coagulate faster.
Crack the egg into a small bowl or cup for easier handling.
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water. Carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool, ensuring the yolk stays intact.
Let the egg cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. Use a slotted spoon to gently remove the poached egg and set it on a paper towel to drain any excess water.
While the egg is poaching, toast the low-carb bread until golden brown.
Spread a thin layer of butter or olive oil over the toasted bread for added flavor.
Optional: If using avocado, mash the avocado and spread it over the toast as a base layer.
Carefully place the poached egg on top of the toast.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and ground black pepper over the egg. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb toast with poached egg!
