Toppings (Optional)

Method

Preparing the Bread

  1. 1

    Toast the Bread

    Start by toasting the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden and crispy.

Making the Avocado Mixture

  1. 2

    Mash the Avocado

    Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mash the mixture with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.

Poaching the Eggs

  1. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Fill a pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar to the water. Crack the eggs one at a time into a small bowl, then gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft poach or longer for firmer yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain.

Assembling the Toast

  1. 4

    Assemble Your Toast

    Spread the mashed avocado mixture generously over the toasted sourdough bread. Top each slice with a poached egg. Optionally, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
