    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.
