Fill a medium saucepan with 4 cups of water and add the cider vinegar. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
While the water is heating, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and mash the avocado with a fork until moderately smooth.
Add black pepper to the mashed avocado and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown and crispy.
Once the water reaches a gentle simmer, crack an egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Repeat with the second egg. Let the eggs poach for about 3-4 minutes for a slightly runny yolk, or longer for a firmer yolk.
While the eggs are poaching, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the poached eggs from the water and gently place them on paper towels to absorb any excess water.
Carefully place one poached egg on top of each avocado toast.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the eggs and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy and delicious low sodium avocado toast with poached eggs!
