Toast the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until creamy.
Dice the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the white vinegar to the boiling water.
Crack the eggs one at a time into a small bowl. Gently slide each egg into the boiling water to poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set, and the yolks are still soft.
Spread the avocado mixture over the toasted bread slices evenly.
Top each avocado toast with diced cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese.
Carefully remove the poached eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, letting them drain for a moment, and place one egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
