Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 whole Avocado
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle simmer over medium heat, adding the white vinegar to the water.
While the water heats, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice and mash until smooth. Stir in ground black pepper.
Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden and crisp.
Once the water is simmering, create a gentle whirlpool by stirring with a spoon and slowly crack the eggs into the water, one at a time. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are runny.
Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice of toasted bread.
Top each toast with a poached egg, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium avocado toast with poached eggs.
