Ingredients
- 2 slices sourdough or whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (for poaching)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, microgreens, or everything bagel seasoning
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Toast bread slices to your desired crispness. Spread lightly with butter or olive oil if desired.
Step 2: Mash the Avocado
Mash avocado with a fork in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Poach the Eggs
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack eggs into separate cups and gently slide into the water. Poach for 3–4 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon.
Step 4: Assemble
Spread mashed avocado on toast, top each with a poached egg, and season with red pepper flakes or bagel seasoning.
🥑 Note: Ripe avocados give the best creamy texture — look for slightly soft skin when squeezed.
🎯 Pro Tip: Add a drizzle of chili oil or balsamic glaze for a gourmet twist.
