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.
