Bread

Avocado Mixture

Poached Egg

Method

Prepare the Bread

  1. 1

    Toast the Bread

    Place the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or on a grill until they are golden brown and crispy.

Prepare 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 lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mash with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.

Poach the Eggs

  1. 3

    Prepare the Poaching Water

    Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar to the water.

  2. 4

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack the eggs into small bowls. Gently slide one egg at a time into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for soft poached eggs or longer if you prefer firmer yolks. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and place them on a paper towel to drain.

Assemble the Toast

  1. 5

    Top the Toast

    Spread the mashed avocado mixture evenly over the toasted sourdough slices. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each slice.

  2. 6

    Add Optional Toppings

    Sprinkle red pepper flakes and chopped fresh herbs over the top, if desired.
