A delicious and simple recipe for Avocado Toast with Poached Egg, featuring creamy mashed avocado seasoned with lemon juice and olive oil on toasted whole grain bread, topped with perfectly poached eggs, a hint of red pepper flakes, and fresh herbs for a flavorful and nutritious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Avocado Spread

  • 2 slices of whole grain bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Poached Eggs

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of whole grain bread until they are golden and crispy to provide a firm base with a satisfying crunch.
  2. Mash the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prepare Avocado Spread: Mix the mashed avocado with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste to create a flavorful and tangy spread.
  4. Poach the Eggs: Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon, then carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains runny. Remove the egg with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel. Repeat with the second egg.
  5. Assemble the Toast: Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture onto each slice evenly.
  6. Add Poached Eggs and Garnishes: Top each avocado toast with a poached egg. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and garnish with fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley for added flavor and color.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and savory combination in every bite.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Adjust lemon juice and seasoning according to taste preferences.
  • For a firmer yolk, poach eggs for an additional minute.
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley add a bright, fresh contrast but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its best texture and freshness.
