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
- Set a medium pot with two inches of lightly salted water and a teaspoon of white vinegar (optional) to boil on the stove.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, keeping the yolks intact, and set aside.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
- 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.
- Toast the bread.
- 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.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is set. Turn off the heat.
- Spread half of the avocado mixture on the toast.
- Top with sliced radish.
- Top with a mound of baby arugula.
- Drizzle with olive oil, a little lemon, and salt.
- Place the poached egg over the arugula using a slotted spoon.
- Sprinkle the egg with salt, pepper, and a generous pinch of zaatar spice.
- 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.
