How to Make Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

1. Start by toasting the whole grain bread until golden brown and crispy.
2. While the bread is toasting, fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
3. Crack each egg into a small bowl, being careful not to break the yolk.
4. Once the water is simmering, create a gentle whirlpool by stirring the water with a spoon. Carefully slide the eggs from the bowl into the center of the whirlpool.
5. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.
6. While the eggs are poaching, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork, adding salt and pepper to taste.
7. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
8. Top each slice of avocado toast with a poached egg and season with additional salt, pepper, and any optional toppings you desire.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious breakfast!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use ripe avocados for the best flavor and texture. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
• For perfectly poached eggs, maintain a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil.
• If you prefer firmer yolks, poach the eggs an extra minute or two.
• Experiment with different bread types, such as sourdough or rye, for varied flavors.

Easy Variations

• Add sliced tomatoes or radishes for a fresh crunch.
• Sprinkle crumbled feta or goat cheese on top for added creaminess.
• Swap the poached egg for a fried or scrambled egg if you prefer.
• Incorporate smoked salmon for a luxurious touch.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Greek yogurt topped with honey and nuts.
• A smoothie for a nutrient-packed drink.
• A simple green salad for added greens.

Avocado toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftover ingredients, store them separately. The mashed avocado can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat the toast, place it in a toaster or toaster oven until crispy again.
