Toppings

Method

Prepare the Bread

  1. 1

    Toast the Sourdough

    Toast the sourdough bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.

Make the Avocado Mixture

  1. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.

  2. 3

    Mash the Avocado

    Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Use a fork to smash the avocado until it reaches your desired level of creaminess.

Poach the Eggs

  1. 4

    Prepare the Poaching Water

    Fill a small pot with water and add vinegar. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Poach the First Egg

    Crack an egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk.

  3. 6

    Poach the Second Egg

    Repeat the process for the second egg, poaching it in the same manner.

  4. 7

    Remove the Poached Eggs

    Once the eggs are poached, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water and drain any excess water.

Assemble the Toast

  1. 8

    Spread the Avocado

    Spread the smashed avocado mixture evenly over each slice of toasted sourdough bread.

  2. 9

    Add Poached Eggs

    Place a poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.

  3. 10

    Season with Chili Flakes

    Sprinkle chili flakes over the top of the poached eggs to taste.
