Avocado Toast with Poached Egg
Crunchy sourdough, smashed avocado with lemon and chili, and a runny poached egg on top — the café favorite, at home.
Ingredients
- 2 thick slices of sourdough bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
Steps
- Toast the sourdough until golden and crisp.
- Mash the avocado with lemon juice and salt, keeping it a little chunky.
- Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil) and add the vinegar.
- Swirl the water, slip in one egg at a time and poach 3 minutes for a runny yolk. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain briefly.
- Spread the avocado on the toast, top each slice with a poached egg and finish with red pepper flakes.
Serve with: a side of fresh fruit and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.
Use the freshest eggs you have for poaching — older eggs spread into wispy whites in the water.
