Avocado Toast with Poached Egg
Ingredients:
● 1 ripe avocado
● 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, etc.)
● 2 large eggs
● Salt and pepper to taste
● Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, chili oil, sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, or fresh herbs like cilantro or chives
Instructions:
Toast the Bread:
● Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or a regular oven.
Prepare the Avocado:
● Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
● Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired consistency.
You can leave it slightly chunky or make it smooth.
Season the Avocado:
● Add salt and pepper to the mashed avocado, adjusting to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for a citrusy kick.
Poach the Eggs:
● Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to the water; this helps the egg whites coagulate more easily.
● Crack the eggs into separate bowls.
● Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and slide the eggs, one at a time, into the center of the whirlpool. This helps the eggs maintain a nice shape.
● Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
● Carefully remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess water.
Assemble the Avocado Toast:
● Spread the mashed avocado evenly onto the toasted bread slices.
● Carefully place a poached egg on top of each slice of avocado-covered toast.
Season and Garnish:
● Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper over the poached eggs.
● Add any optional toppings you desire, such as red pepper flakes, chili oil, sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, or fresh herbs.
Serve Immediately:
● Enjoy your delicious avocado toast with poached egg while it's warm!
This dish is not only visually appealing but also provides a satisfying combination of textures and flavors. Feel free to get creative with the toppings and customize it to your taste preferences.
