Ingredients

  • 2 slices of sourdough bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes or fresh herbs for garnish

How to Make Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

  1. Start by toasting the sourdough bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the bread is toasting, bring a small saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape while poaching.
  3. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Carefully slide the eggs into the simmering water one at a time. Poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
  4. While the eggs are poaching, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Once the toast is ready, spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and drain briefly. Place one egg on top of each avocado toast.
  7. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with additional salt and pepper, and add any optional toppings like red pepper flakes or fresh herbs.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture. They should yield slightly when pressed.
  • For perfectly poached eggs, ensure the water is at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil.
  • If you prefer firmer yolks, poach the eggs for an additional minute.
  • For added flavor, consider toasting the bread with a bit of garlic or adding a squeeze of lemon to the avocado.

Easy Variations

  • Spicy Twist: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce on top.
  • Herbed Delight: Mix chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or basil into the mashed avocado.
  • Cheesy Goodness: Top with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan for a salty kick.
  • Vegetable Boost: Add sliced tomatoes, radishes, or arugula for extra crunch and flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
  • Greek yogurt with honey and nuts for a protein boost.
  • A smoothie packed with greens for an extra nutrient kick.
  • Freshly squeezed orange juice or a latte for a complete breakfast experience.

Storage and Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftover mashed avocado, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. To reheat the toast, pop it back in the toaster or under the broiler for a minute to regain its crunch. Poached eggs are best made fresh, but if you have leftovers, they can be stored in cold water in the fridge and reheated in hot water.
