Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain or whole wheat bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 4 kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese
- 4 fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by poaching the eggs. Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a separate small bowl.
Gently slide the eggs one at a time into the simmering water. Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set, but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
While the eggs are poaching, lightly toast the slices of whole grain bread in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat.
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, then mash with a fork until you reach a smooth consistency.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and the kalamata olives into rings.
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Place one poached egg on each avocado-covered toast.
Sprinkle the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and crumbled feta cheese over each toast.
Drizzle each toast with a little extra virgin olive oil and season with remaining salt and ground black pepper.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
