Prepare the Avocado

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado flesh.

  3. 3

    Mash the avocado mixture with a fork until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).

Toast the Bread

  1. 4

    Toast the slices of sourdough bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown and crispy.

    Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the simmering water.

  3. 7

    Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time.

  4. 8

    Allow the eggs to poach for 3-4 minutes for soft yolks, or longer if you prefer firmer yolks.

  5. 9

    Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and drain them on a paper towel.

Assemble the Toast

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

    Place a poached egg on top of each avocado toast.
