1
Toast the Bread
In a toaster or under a broiler, toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
2
Prepare the Avocado Spread
Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash the avocados with a fork until you reach your desired level of creaminess.
3
Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
4
Poach the Eggs
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5
Assemble the Toast
Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted sourdough bread.
6
Add the Toppings
Top the avocado toast with halved cherry tomatoes and place a poached egg on each slice. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
