Ingredients:
- 2 slices of whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Olive oil (optional)
Instructions:
- Begin by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread to your desired level of crispiness. This will form a sturdy base for the avocado and eggs.
- While the bread is toasting, fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. You can add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape while poaching.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time. Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer them firmer. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and drain them on a paper towel.
- Meanwhile, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork, adding salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired for added flavor.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice. Top each piece with a poached egg, and sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
Extra Tips:
To get perfectly poached eggs, it’s important to keep the water at a gentle simmer and avoid boiling, which can cause the eggs to break apart. If you want to save some time, you can poach the eggs in advance and reheat them gently in warm water before serving.
Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like sliced tomatoes, radishes, or microgreens to elevate your avocado toast and add extra nutrients.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy breakfast!
