1
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2
Mash the Avocado
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado in the bowl and mash with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
3
Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
4
Prepare the Parsley
Chop fresh parsley finely.

5
Toast the Bread
Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
6
Poach the Egg
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

7
Assemble the Avocado Toast
Spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice of toasted bread. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and place the poached egg on top.
8
Garnish
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for garnish and serve immediately.
