1
Toast the Sourdough
Place the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown and crispy.
2
Prepare the Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky.
3
Prepare the Cherry Tomatoes
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Set aside for topping.

4
Poach the Egg
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the white is set and the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5
Assemble the Avocado Toast
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted sourdough. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and place the poached egg on top. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
