For my delicious avocado toast with poached eggs, you'll need a few simple items. Here’s what to gather: - 2 ripe avocados - 4 slices of whole-grain bread - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon white vinegar - 1 tablespoon olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - Red pepper flakes (optional) - Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish - Juice of 1/2 lemon These ingredients create a tasty meal that feels fancy but is easy to make. The ripe avocados are key. They add creaminess and flavor to the toast. Whole-grain bread gives a nice, hearty base. Poached eggs bring protein and richness that tie it all together. Using fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley adds a pop of color and freshness. The lemon juice brightens the avocado mix and keeps it from browning. Now, gather these items for your cooking adventure! Once you have them ready, you can follow my full recipe to create this delightful dish. First, take your ripe avocados and cut them in half. Remove the pit and scoop the green flesh into a bowl. Add the juice of half a lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to mash the avocado. You can make it smooth or keep it chunky, depending on your taste. Now, it’s time to toast the bread. You can use a toaster, an oven, or a griddle. Toast until the bread is golden brown and crispy. If you want the best browning, keep an eye on it. You want it crunchy but not burnt. Next, fill a medium saucepan with water and heat it until it simmers gently. Add one teaspoon of white vinegar to the water. This helps the eggs hold their shape. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then slide it into the water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for soft eggs or longer for firmer eggs. Use a slotted spoon to lift them out and drain on a paper towel. Grab your toasted bread and spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on each slice. Make sure to cover it well. Top each slice with a poached egg. For extra flavor, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top if you like heat. Finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro or parsley. Adjust the seasoning to your taste. You can find the full recipe to make this avocado toast with poached eggs at your convenience. Enjoy your delicious meal! To make great avocado toast, you need to start with ripe avocados. Look for avocados that yield slightly when you press them gently. If they feel hard, they are not ripe yet. You can also check the color. Dark green or black skin often means they are ripe. There are different types of avocados. Hass avocados have a rich, creamy flavor and a pebbly skin. Fuerte avocados are smooth and have a milder taste. Both are great for toast, but I prefer Hass for its creaminess. Poaching eggs can be tricky. A common mistake is cooking them in boiling water. Instead, use a gentle simmer. Boiling can break the eggs apart. Adding vinegar to the water helps the egg whites hold together. Another method is to use a microwave. Just crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl, add water, and cover it. Cook for about a minute, but watch closely! Toppings can make your avocado toast even better. Try adding sliced tomatoes, radishes, or feta cheese for extra flavor. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley add a nice touch, too. Pair your toast with a refreshing drink. A cold glass of orange juice or a cup of green tea complements the toast well. For a twist, try a light beer or a sparkling water with lime.

This flour makes a tasty mix when you add water and spices. Make a batter and cook it like a pancake. This gives you a protein-rich option that’s still filling and yummy. Not everyone can eat bread with gluten. Try using sweet potato slices or cauliflower bread. Sweet potato, sliced thin and roasted, gives a sweet touch. Cauliflower bread is soft and pairs well with avocado. Both options keep the dish gluten-free and delicious. Add some global flair to your toast! You can use spices from different cuisines. For example, try za'atar, a Middle Eastern mix of herbs. Or sprinkle some dukkah, an Egyptian nut blend. You can also add sriracha for a spicy kick. Each choice brings new flavors to your meal.

Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the avocado to limit air exposure. This helps slow down browning. You can also add a bit of extra lemon juice, as the acid helps keep it vibrant.

Keep an eye on the toast to ensure it stays crisp while warming up. For leftover poached eggs, refrigerate them right away. Store them in a bowl with water to keep them moist.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

4 slices of whole-grain bread

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Spread: In a medium bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired level of creaminess (smooth or chunky). Set aside.

    Toast the Bread: Toast the slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown and crispy. This can be done using a toaster, oven, or griddle.

      Poach the Eggs: Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar to the water, which helps the egg whites hold together. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water one at a time. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for soft poached eggs or until the whites are firm. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the water and gently drain on a paper towel.

        Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture on each slice of toasted bread.

          Top with Poached Eggs: Carefully place a poached egg on top of each avocado toast.

            Finish with Flavor: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for an extra kick (if desired), and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste.
