Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices paleo-friendly bread
- 4 whole large eggs
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Add lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well. Set aside.
Toast the paleo-friendly bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
Fill a large saucepan with water, approximately 2 inches deep, and bring it to just below a simmer over medium heat.
Add the white vinegar to the water. Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin.
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the water, and carefully slide the eggs one at a time into the center of the whirlpool.
Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Use a slotted spoon to remove each poached egg and drain on a paper towel.
Spread a quarter of the avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
Place a poached egg on top of each avocado toast.
Drizzle the top of each toast with a bit of olive oil.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Paleo Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs.
