Ingredients for Avocado Toast
Method
Directions for Avocado Toast
- 1
Prepare the Avocado Spread
In a bowl, scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocados. Mash the avocados with a fork until smooth. Add salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and olive oil to the mashed avocado. Mix well and set aside.

Poach the Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water with a spoon and carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Toast the Bread
While the eggs are poaching, toast the slices of pain santé bread until golden brown.

Assemble the Toast
