Description
Enjoy the delightful contrast of crispy toast, creamy avocado, and a perfectly poached egg in this satisfying breakfast dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 slice of good quality bread (e.g., sourdough)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 an avocado
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon juice, optional
- Olive oil, for greasing
Instructions
- Toast the slice of bread until golden brown and crispy.
- While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado by mashing it in a bowl with a fork. Add salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Set aside.
- To poach the egg, place a piece of plastic wrap in a small bowl or coffee cup and rub the inside with a drop of olive oil.
- Crack the egg into the bowl lined with plastic wrap. Gather the edges of the plastic wrap and tie it securely with a string above the egg.
- Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Place the wrapped egg in the simmering water and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the egg white is set and the yolk is still runny.
- Remove the egg from the water and carefully unwrap it.
- Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
- Place the poached egg on top of the avocado toast. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious contrast of textures and flavors.
Notes
For best results, use fresh eggs as they poach more easily. The plastic wrap method is foolproof and works well with supermarket eggs. Customize with additional toppings like chili flakes or herbs for extra flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture.
