Instructions
Creating Simple Poached Egg and Avocado Toast is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect dish:
1. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and add salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix to combine.
2. Toast the Bread: While preparing the avocado, toast the slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown and crispy.
3. Poach the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl. Stir the water to create a whirlpool, then gently slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for firmer yolks.
4. Remove the Eggs: Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water. Let them drain on a paper towel.
5. Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread. Place one poached egg on top of each slice.
6. Season and Serve: Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper on top. If desired, garnish with optional toppings such as red pepper flakes or fresh herbs.
