Avocado Toast with Poached Egg

Instructions

1. 1

   Toast the 2 slices of whole grain bread to your preferred level of crispiness.

2. 2

   While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches a smooth consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water and add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Bring the water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

4. 4

   Crack each egg into a small cup or bowl. Gently slide the eggs one by one into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3 to 4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk, depending on your preference.

5. 5

   Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached eggs from the water and place them on a paper towel to drain.

6. 6

   Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices. Place one poached egg on top of each avocado toast.

7. 7

   Season the poached eggs with additional salt and pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top for an extra kick.

8. 8

   Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Avocado Toast with Poached Egg.
