Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread (or preferred bread)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 fresh eggs
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or microgreens) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocado Spread: Cut the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash to desired consistency.
  2. Poach the Eggs: Bring 3 inches of water to a gentle simmer in a pot. Add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a whirlpool in the pot and gently slide in the eggs. Cook for 3 minutes for runny yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  3. Toast and Assemble: Toast bread until golden. Spread mashed avocado evenly, top with poached egg, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Drizzle olive oil and garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Make ahead by poaching eggs and storing them in cold water for up to 24 hours. Reheat in hot water before serving. Customize with toppings like feta, tomatoes, or smoked salmon.
