🕒 Prep Time: 10 mins

🍳 Cook Time: 5 mins

👥 Servings: 1

Ingredients:

• 1 slice of whole-grain or sourdough bread
• ½ ripe avocado
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp white vinegar (optional, for poaching)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
• Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions:

1. Toast the Bread:

• Start by toasting your bread until it’s golden and crispy.

2. Prepare the Avocado:

• In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but still a bit chunky. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

3. Poach the Egg:

• Fill a small pot with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a simmer. Add the vinegar if using, as it helps the egg whites stay together.
• Crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water.
• Poach the egg for about 3 minutes for a soft, runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon and let it drain.

4. Assemble the Toast:

• Spread the mashed avocado onto the toasted bread.
• Place the poached egg on top of the avocado.

5. Season and Garnish:

• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a bit of spice.
• Garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor and color.

Tips:

• Perfect Poached Egg: If you’re new to poaching eggs, using a small fine-mesh sieve to strain out the watery part of the egg white before poaching can help make a neater poached egg.
• Topping Ideas: Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning, sliced cherry tomatoes, or microgreens for extra flavor and texture.
