Ingredients:
- 1 slice of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, etc.)
- ½ ripe avocado
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, chopped fresh herbs (such as chives or cilantro)
Equipment:
- Toaster
- Small saucepan
- Slotted spoon
- Butter knife or fork
Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bread
- Toast your bread to your desired level of crispness.
Step 2: Prepare the Avocado
- Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired consistency – chunky or smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Prepare for Poaching the Egg
- Fill a small, wide saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the white vinegar to the water. The vinegar helps the egg white coagulate.
Step 4: Poach the Egg
- Crack the egg into a small bowl or ramekin. This makes it easier to gently slide the egg into the simmering water. Create a gentle whirlpool in the water by stirring it in a circular motion with a spoon. Carefully slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk. The egg white should be set, but the yolk should still be liquid.
Step 5: Assemble the Avocado Toast
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
Step 6: Top with the Poached Egg
- Carefully remove the poached egg from the water using a slotted spoon and gently place it on top of the avocado toast.
Step 7: Season and Serve
- Season the poached egg with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, everything bagel seasoning, or fresh herbs.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
