Avocado and Tomato Toast with Poached Egg
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: red pepper flakes, chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden and crispy.
- While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado by cutting it in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread the mashed avocado evenly on each slice.
- Top the avocado toast with the sliced tomatoes.
- To poach the eggs, fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the water.
- Crack one egg into a small bowl. Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water and carefully slide the egg into the center. Repeat with the second egg.
- Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk, or 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and drain on a paper towel.
- Place one poached egg on top of each avocado and tomato toast.
- Season the poached eggs with salt and pepper, and garnish with optional red pepper flakes and chopped cilantro, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
