Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 eggs
Seasonings:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Gently toast bread slices until they achieve a crisp, golden exterior with a warm, crunchy texture.
- Carefully slice and mash ripe avocados into a smooth, creamy spread using a fork, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Spread the avocado mixture uniformly across the toasted bread, creating an even, luscious layer.
- Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer around 180°F, creating a soft whirlpool with a spoon.
- Crack each egg into a small ramekin, then delicately slide them into the simmering water, cooking for approximately 3 minutes until whites are firm and yolks remain liquid.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove poached eggs and pat dry with a paper towel to eliminate excess moisture.
- Gently place the perfectly poached eggs atop the avocado-covered toast.
- Enhance the dish with a light sprinkle of kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat.
- Garnish with finely chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added brightness and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while eggs are warm and toast remains crisp, enjoying the harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Select bread with a sturdy texture to prevent sogginess and provide a crisp base for the creamy avocado.
- Use perfectly ripe avocados that are soft but not mushy, ensuring smooth spreadability and rich flavor.
- Create restaurant-style poached eggs by adding a splash of vinegar to simmering water, which helps the egg whites coagulate neatly around the yolk.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like chives, cilantro, or dill to elevate the dish’s freshness and add vibrant color.
