Ingredients
Scale
- 1 slice whole-grain bread
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (for poaching)
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the slice of bread until it is golden brown.
- While the bread toasts, prepare the poached egg. Fill a small saucepan with about 3 inches of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the teaspoon of vinegar.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl first. Create a gentle swirl in the simmering water with a spoon.
- Carefully slide the egg into the center of the swirl. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes for a runny yolk.
- Remove the egg carefully with a slotted spoon and drain excess water.
- Mash the avocado directly onto the toast. Season the avocado with salt and pepper.
- Place the poached egg on top of the mashed avocado.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes, if you like. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality bread for the best texture.
- Practice poaching eggs; it gets easier with every try.
- If you prefer, you can fry the egg instead of poaching it.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the avocado to keep it bright.
