Main Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Poached Eggs

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add Vinegar

    Add a tablespoon of vinegar to the simmering water. This helps the egg whites to coagulate and keep a nice shape.

  3. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Crack each egg into a small bowl. Gently slide the egg into the simmering water. Repeat for the second egg. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.

  4. 4

    Remove and Drain

    Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.

Preparing the Toast and Avocado

  1. 5

    Toast the Bread

    While the eggs are poaching, toast the slices of bread to your desired level of crispiness.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 7

    Spread the Avocado

    Spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice of toasted bread.

  2. 8

    Top with Poached Eggs

    Place a poached egg on top of each slice of avocado toast.

  3. 9

    Season and Garnish

    Sprinkle with additional salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes or fresh herbs if desired.
