Description

Flavorful avocado toast topped with a perfectly poached egg, radishes, and arugula. Ready in under 15 minutes!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cups (237 ml) ripe medium-large avocado
  • 1 meyer lemon - zest and juice (or use regular lemon)
  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 slices wholesome bread
  • 1/2 cups (118 ml) baby arugula
  • 4 radishes
  • 2 large Eggland’s Best Eggs
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • generous pinch Zaatar spice (or sub cumin, sumac, or coriander)
  • aleppo chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Set a medium pot with two inches of lightly salted water and a teaspoon of white vinegar (optional) to boil on the stove.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl, keeping the yolks intact, and set aside.
  3. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon zest, the juice from half a lemon, 2 teaspoons oil, salt, and pepper. Stir and mash with a fork until combined. Taste and adjust salt; it should be slightly salty and lemony.
  5. Toast the bread.
  6. Once the water is boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Gently stir and slip the eggs into the simmering water, stirring gently in a circular motion.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is set. Turn off the heat.
  8. Spread half of the avocado mixture on the toast.
  9. Top with sliced radish.
  10. Top with a mound of baby arugula.
  11. Drizzle with olive oil, a little lemon, and salt.
  12. Place the poached egg over the arugula using a slotted spoon.
  13. Sprinkle the egg with salt, pepper, and a generous pinch of zaatar spice.
  14. Add chili flakes, if desired.

Notes

  • For perfectly poached eggs, ensure the water is gently simmering, not boiling rapidly.
  • If you don’t have Zaatar, a blend of cumin, sumac, and coriander makes a great substitute.
  • To prevent browning, store leftover avocado mixture in an airtight container with a thin layer of lemon juice on top.
