Avocado Toast with Poached Egg
Crisp sourdough toast topped with lemony mashed avocado, gently poached eggs, and a light chili seasoning.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Add the water and white vinegar to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low heat.
-
Step 2
Place the avocado and lemon juice in the mixing bowl. Add ⅛ tsp (1 gr) salt and mash with the fork, leaving some texture.
-
Step 3
Toast the sourdough bread until crisp and golden.
-
Step 4
Crack each egg into the cup, one at a time. Gently slide both eggs into the barely simmering water, leaving space between them.
-
Step 5
Poach the eggs over low heat until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Lift them out with the slotted spoon and drain briefly on kitchen paper.
-
Step 6
Place the toast on the plates and spread with the mashed avocado. Top each slice with a poached egg.
-
Step 7
Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil, then season with the remaining ⅛ tsp salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
