Perfect Avocado Toast

Looking for a healthy breakfast that’s full of flavor? You’re in the right spot! The Perfect Avocado Toast with Poached Eggs is more than just a simple dish. It’s a gourmet breakfast you can make any day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough or your favorite crusty bread
  • 1 ripe avocado (sliced or mashed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar (for poaching eggs)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • Red pepper flakes or chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Toast the Bread

  1. o Toast the slices of sourdough bread to your desired crispiness. Set aside.

Prepare the Avocado

  1. o While the bread is toasting, slice or mash the avocado. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper for extra flavor.

Poach the Eggs

  1. o Fill a saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer (not boiling). Add the vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape.
  2. o Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk.
  3. o Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the water, letting any excess water drain.

Assemble the Avocado Toast

  1. o Spread the avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread. Carefully place a poached egg on top of each slice.

Season and Serve

  1. o Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs. Add red pepper flakes or chives for an optional garnish if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
