Ingredients

• 1 whole ripe avocado
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 slices whole grain bread
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado to your desired consistency—chunky or smooth.

Step 2

Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado, and mix well to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

Fill a medium saucepan with water, about halfway, and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar to the simmering water.

Step 4

Crack an egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure the yolk stays intact.

Step 5

Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon. Carefully slide the egg from the bowl into the center of the whirlpool, allowing the swirling water to help wrap the egg white around the yolk.

Step 6

Let the egg poach for 3-4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon and let it drain on a paper towel. Repeat the process with the second egg.

Step 7

Meanwhile, toast the slices of whole grain bread to your desired level of doneness.

Step 8

Spread the avocado mixture evenly over each piece of toasted bread.

Step 9

Top each toast with a poached egg. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious avocado toast with poached egg.
